'In her beautifully written debut, Kate Collins gives the haunted
house novel a refreshing renovation, while retaining a deliciously
chilling atmosphere that fans of Shirley Jackson will love. I was
entranced' Francine Toon, author of Pine The perfect place to
destroy a family... The Reeve stands on the edge of the Dorset
cliffs, awaiting its next inhabitants. Despite Orla's misgivings,
her husband insists this house will be the perfect place to raise
their two children. In 1976, Lydia moves to Dorset as a nanny for a
family grieving their patriarch. She soon starts to hear and feel
things that cannot be real, but her bereaved employer does not
listen when Lydia tells her something is wrong. Separated by forty
years, both Lydia and Orla realise that the longer they stay at the
Reeve, the more deadly certain their need to keep the children safe
from whatever lurks inside it... Nothing is quite what it seems at
the Reeve, and with its pervasive atmosphere of claustrophobia and
dread, Kate Collins' gothic creation will chill you to the core.
