A deliciously creepy psychological thriller from the author of Lie With Me that finds the lives of an eccentric loner and her mysterious new neighbours intertwine with potentially deadly results.
One woman's secret is her neighbour's opportunity.
Verity Baxter has lived - quietly, carefully - in Trinity Fields all her life. Then Ailsa and Tom Tilson move in next door and everything changes. Can Verity trust what she hears through the walls?
And what about the Tilsons: should they pity their eccentric neighbour and her messy house? Or should they fear her?
Either way, like the ivy that creeps through their shared garden fence, their lives are entwined now. And the knots can only get tighter . . .
