Beth should have heeded her instinct. Instead, persuaded by her charismatic boyfriend, she finds herself house-sitting alone, in a 'ghost' estate on the edge of town. He told her it would be the key to their future. With the money they saved, they could buy their dream home. He'd be there whenever he could. Or so he said.  But Beth doesn't like being alone. She begins hearing strange noises at night, and wonders if the house could be haunted. As her drinking worsens, it becomes difficult to convince Jason that she's not imagining things. Could it all be in her head?  Slowly, however, Beth realises that there are very real dangers on the estate. And people who seemed friendly are keeping dark secrets, which they don't want her to uncover. And maybe Beth herself is capable of terrible things, if she is pushed far enough...

Traversing psychiatric institutions, troubled relationships, sunlit piazzas and Guatemalan backroads, the narratives centre voices negotiating memory, trauma and desire in language that is spare yet quietly propulsive. Costello renders each interior crisis, postpartum psychosis, betrayal, estrangement, grief, with stark clarity and devastating calm, allowing meaning to accrue in gesture, omission and atmosphere. Unfolding with a cinematic sense of rhythm and control, this is fiction that unsettles gently but decisively, refusing neat resolution in favour of truth's more fragmented shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52859235762449,"sku":"NIN9781917617536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53383111344401,"sku":"GOR014890965","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781917617536.jpg?v=1765137141"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-liza-costello.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
