BODIES FOUND UNDER PATIO
When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body – two bodies, in fact.

Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage’s former owner – her grandmother, Rose.
OWNER QUESTIONED
Rose is in a care home and Alzheimer’s means her memory is increasingly confused. She can’t help the police but it is clear she remembers something.
A KILLER AT LARGE?
As Rose’s fragmented memories resurface, and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.
What happened thirty years ago?
Why did no one miss the victims?
What part did her grandmother play?
And is Saffy now in danger?
Review:
What a tangled web we weave. This story jumps from character to character seamlessly. You can see the characters in your mind, understand why Saffy loves her gran even after learning more about her. The house feels a bit like a horror story, I am not sure I could stay in it but Saffy as other ideas and her reasons are understandable. Her mother Lolly’s lack of memories puzzles but then can any of us remember at 3yrs of age what we did or who we met. Tom is definitely a side character not really playing a big part but a character that is needed. The prologue wraps everything up nicely without rushing it into a neat ending.
