2000s: A strange encounter, an unexpected gift, a twisted secret
In a Cottage In a Wood
What you need to know before your trail
Neve comes across a troubled woman called Isabelle on Waterloo Bridge late one night. Isabelle forces a parcel into Neve’s hands and jumps to her death in the icy Thames below.
Two weeks later, as Neve’s wreck of a life in London collapses, an unexpected lifeline falls into her lap – a charming cottage in Cornwall left to her by Isabelle, the woman on the bridge. The solution to all her problems.
But when Neve arrives, alone in the dark woods late one night, she finds a sinister-looking bungalow with bars across its windows. And her dream home quickly becomes her worst nightmare – a house hiding a twisted secret that will change her life forever…
Travel Guide
London
London Eye, the cold Thames, a woman who falls into the Thames but before she does, she hands you a letter with details of a cottage in Cornwall. Waterloo bridge is the scene of a very strange meeting in the city for one woman. This might be the end of the road for one woman but for another the nightmare is truly beginning..
Cornwall
The cottage turns out to be in the middle of nowhere. It’s not exactly the cosy cottage you would hope for when visiting Cornwall. Not the ideal setting for anyone on their own, least of all someone who has been left it by a woman who jumped into the Thames.
There is a challenge to get inside : 4 locks on the door which have to be opened in the correct sequence. There are many conditions and rules for her to follow and it’s not a list of things to see and enjoy in the area. And a dead magpie is not what you want to find waiting for you either. It’s a filthy hovel and it’s doesn’t look any nicer outside either. Mind who the neighbours are as well!
There’s no village called Cador thank goodness but there are a few lovely ones outside of Truro for you to go searching for. Hopefully you will find a nice little cottage to rent….
