'I love McPherson's books - the clear and effortless prose, the
entirely credible characters, and the wonderfully twisty plots -
and Strangers at the Gate is one of her best' Ann Cleeves Who do
you turn to, when everyone's a stranger and you stop believing what
your own eyes see? Finnie Doyle and Paddy Lamb are leaving city
life in Edinburgh behind them and moving to the little town of
Simmerton. Paddy has landed a partnership in a local solicitors and
Finnie's snagged a job as a church deacon. Their rented cottage is
quaint; their new colleagues are charming, and they can't believe
their luck. But witnessing the bloody aftermath of a brutal murder
changes everything. They've each been keeping secrets about their
pasts. And they both know their precious new start won't survive a
scandal. Together, for the best of reasons, they make the worst
decision of their lives. And that's only the beginning. The deep,
deep valley where Simmerton sits is unlike anywhere Finn and Paddy
have been before. They are not the only ones hiding in its shadow
and very soon they've lost control of the game they decided to
play... Praise for Catriona McPherson: 'An unnerving and
suspenseful novel' Karin Slaughter 'Just the right mixture of
spookiness and mystery' James Oswald 'A gripping thriller' Ian
Rankin 'A Gothic feast of a novel, this is a country house book
with a difference: contemporary, punchy and disturbing, but using
the tricks and twists of the best of Christie' Ann Cleeves 'Go To
My Grave is both a classic 'country house mystery' and a thriller.
Atmospheric, with mind-bending twists, a narrator who may or may
not be reliable, and an ending that will take your breath away and
leave you astonished' Louise Penny ' . . . drew me in from the very
first page, and I stayed up late reading it because I couldn't wait
to find out what happened next. That's the definition of a good
book' Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 'A
tale that shivers with suspense' The New York Times
