The Facts of Life and Death by Belinda Bauer
'Call your mother.' 'What do I say?' 'Say goodbye.' This is how it begins. Lone women terrorised in a game where only one player knows the rules. And when those rules change, the new game is Murder. Living with her parents in the dank beach community of Limeburn, ten-year-old Ruby Trick has her own fears. Bullies on the school bus, the forest crowding her house into the sea, and the threat of divorce. Helping her Daddy to catch the killer might be the key to keeping him close. As long as the killer doesn't catch her first...

I will rush to read anything she writes" Mark Billingham "Belinda Bauer is one of the best British crime writers out there right now" Simon Kernick "She writes so beautifully, plots so cleverly and exhibits a razor-sharp understanding of people and places" Literary Review
