SHE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES... 1938.Gillian Larking is used to
blending in and going unnoticed, until she is befriended by her new

her luck when Violet invites her to spend them at her home, the
crumbling Thornleigh Hall. At Thornleigh, Gilly is dazzled by the
family's faded grandeur, and above all by Violet's beguiling older
sisters who seem to accept her as one of their own.But following a
terrible incident in the house's grounds, Gilly begins to realise
the Claybourne sisters aren't quite what she thought they were. And
if she's to survive in their world, she may have to become just
like them . .. 'An evocative mystery . .. atmospheric and gripping.
An ideal read for winter days' Good Housekeeping'A stern boarding

it's a brilliant claustrophobic study of gaslighting and
manipulation, as a family's ambitions overwhelm their better
impulses' Daily Mail'Atmospheric and chilling, this is one to curl

and immersive plot that becomes more gripping and sinister with
every turn of the page' Louise Douglas, author of THE HOUSE BY THE

tension with my heart in my mouth.A dark and delicious tale' Amanda
