Family secrets.
Shortly before Nicola Hallstead’s grandmother dies, she whispers, “There are babies ……. at the bottom of the garden”. Nicola thinks that her grandmother might be hallucinating so close to her death, but shortly after, her little girl is playing around the fairy statues at the bottom of the garden and digs up a very tiny bone.
Nicola's mother doesn't want to call in the police but she does, and they uncover three dead babies have been buried. Two in her grandmother's garden and one in the neighbours.
Whose babies are these? Why have they been buried in the garden rather than the graveyard?
Linda Green’s characters are well drawn. Unfortunately, I felt that some of the storylines running through the book were contrived, especially the family dynamics. However, this is my opinion, and I'm sure that many readers will love this book and all the secrets that are exposed.
