Travel Guide
Not so much a strong sense of place but a strong sense of the community and small village lifestyle where every one looks friendly and gives an impression of being wealthy and good. Peel back the curtains however and the reality is far from what is appears.
Family life in the village seems good – it’s a whirl of get togethers, horse riding and keeping up with the Joneses. Kate loves horseriding and she and Rosie love to spend time in the woods. When Rosie dies, she befriends her mum Joanna.
The facade then starts to reveal itself – Joanna, husband Neal and daughter are not the family everyone thinks they are. Rosie herself reveals clues from beyond the grave. She starts to become friends with Kate as Kate treats her like a daughter and gives her the attention she needs. Kate loves the attention she can give Rosie as her own daughter is too busy on social media. Husband Angus feels a little left out.
Lives entangled start to unravel – but who killed Rosie and why?
“The thing is, one person’s truth is very often another person’s lie.”
