These Dark Places - Paperback

by Hilary Tailor (Author)

Some secrets should stay buried. Her husband's won't.

Della's life was everything she'd dreamed of: a loving husband, teenage daughter, and a peaceful cottage in the woods with her own pottery studio. But then her husband, Leo, collapses and on his deathbed makes a devastating confession that turns Della's world upside down.

Consumed by grief, Della finds the ancient woodland that once sheltered her now feels threatening. The only solace comes from her new neighbour, Carrie, whose kindness gives Della a fragile sense of hope.

As Della digs deeper into her husband's hidden life, shocking discoveries emerge - about Leo and the life Della thought she knew, and even about Carrie herself. Is her neighbour truly a friend, or is she hiding the most dangerous secret of all?
