About the Book:
When sisters Celine and Pip get a call telling them their reclusive mother has died, the women are reunited at her riverside home in Arundel to pick up the pieces. But someone is missing – their middle sister, Vanessa, brutally murdered years ago and the victim of an unsolved case. As the sisters confront ghosts from the past, the discovery of another body in similar circumstances throws new light on Vanessa’s death. Could there be more to her case than the police first thought? And what do the mysterious residents of Two Cross Farm, the neighbouring women’s commune, have to do with it? What secrets are lurking behind their locked gates? And what is the significance of the number 33
My Review:
If you like slow-burn Mysteries, you must add this one to your list!
Told in two time-lines, this story had so many pieces that I just loved – Women supporting other women through a commune, unsolved murders, unique characters – some likable, some not and estranged sisters/family that must work together to resolve old family issues.
There is foreshadowing (that I totally missed!), a bit of atmospheric tension and an important underlying subject matter of abuse against women and the need for a safe place in the world.
I really liked the pace of the book, the narrators, the slowly unfolding mystery and the fact that I didn’t guess the end!
Highly recommended!
