One woman's escape becomes her worst nightmare... Desperate for a fresh start after a painful breakup and a boring life, Beth Thompson jumps at the chance to swap her London flat for a remote Welsh cottage. A month of countryside tranquillity sounds perfect for healing her broken heart and rejuvenating her life. But something feels wrong from the moment she arrives at Uwchgoed cottage. Strange noises in the night. Disturbing photographs hidden in drawers. Mysterious scratches around the cellar door. And why do the locals turn away when they see her coming? Even more unsettling are the cryptic warnings from her elderly neighbour: "This place has a way of unearthing buried secrets, dear." As Beth delves deeper into the cottage's dark history, she discovers a pattern of disappearances and deaths spanning decades. Each mystery left unsolved. Now the couple she swapped homes with have gone silent. Her car won't start. The phone reception is hit and miss. And someone is watching her from the woods... From Aaron Quinn comes a pulse-pounding psychological thriller about the dangers of escaping the past - and the terrifying moment you realise you're trapped with it. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and Shari Lapena.
