'Simply brilliant' Kate Mosse, international bestselling author of Labyrinth***Everybody has a story...Angelfield House stands abandoned and forgotten. It was once home to the March family: fascinating, manipulative Isabelle; brutal, dangerous Charlie; and the wild, untamed twins, Emmeline and Adeline. But the house hides a chilling secret which strikes at the very heart of each of them, tearing their lives apart...Now Margaret Lea is investigating Angelfield's past, and its mysterious connection to the enigmatic writer Vida Winter.
