In her thrilling debut, Jane Cockram delivers a gripping tale of psychological suspense as a young woman, Miranda, escapes her shattered life to seek solace at a family estate in England, only to uncover chilling secrets. Once a successful social media influencer, Miranda's career crumbled after a controversial endorsement backfired, leaving her vulnerable to online harassment. In her search for refuge, she receives a mysterious letter from a cousin in England, drawing her into a dark family mystery. Her late mother, Tessa Summers, a renowned author, is the only link Miranda has to the Summers family, primarily through Tessa’s famous book, *The House of Brides*, which chronicles the notorious women who married into the Summers lineage at Barnsley House. From crime novelist Gertrude Summers to Miranda’s grandmother Beatrice, who tragically took her own life, each woman’s story is steeped in scandal. Now, the estate is home to Daphne, a celebrated chef who revitalized Barnsley. Posing as a prospective nanny, Miranda arrives to find the estate drastically changed, with Daphne missing and one child wheelchair-bound after an unexplained accident. As Miranda delves deeper, she confronts the unsettling truths hidden within Barnsley’s walls.
