A house that demands silence. A society that rewards forgetting. A woman who refuses both. When Eliza Fairrowe returns to Blackthorn House, she expects only obligation and unease. What she finds instead is a death that no one wishes to remember-and a household trained to explain it away. In Regency England, accidents are convenient. Servants vanish quietly. Questions are recast as impropriety. And the truth, when spoken by the wrong voice, becomes a liability. As Eliza presses against the limits of politeness and power, she uncovers a pattern of disappearances bound not by coincidence, but by design. Each inquiry isolates her further. Each discovery tightens the walls around her. When society begins to doubt her sanity, Eliza must decide whether survival lies in retreat-or in refusal. The Ashes of Blackthorn House is a dark, psychologically driven Regency mystery exploring power, silence, and the cost of speaking truth in a world designed to erase it. Perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn suspense, moral tension, and historical mysteries where danger wears a courteous face. Some houses protect their secrets. Others destroy those who uncover them.
Black Thorn
From Sarah Hilary, winner of Theakston’s Crime Novel of the Year and author of Fragile, this is a slow-burn psychological mystery set against the abandonment of an exclusive housing development – and devastation of the families that lived there . . . 'An astonishingly gifted writer' – Marian Keyes ‘Immersive, claustrophobic, unbearably tense and quite brilliant' – Ann Cleeves How much do you really know about the people next door? Blackthorn Ashes was meant to be their forever home. For the first six families moving into the exclusive new housing development, it was a chance to live a peaceful life on the cliffs overlooking the Cornish sea, safe in the knowledge that it had been created just for them. But six weeks later, paradise is lost. Six people are dead. And Blackthorn Ashes is left abandoned and unfinished, its dark shadows hiding all manner of secrets. One of its surviving residents, exiled to a local caravan park in the wake of the tragedy, is Agnes Gale, an autistic woman trying to survive the fallout with her family. She is determined to find out the truth about what happened. Even if that truth is deadlier than she could have ever believed possible . . . With a compelling, diverse cast of characters, and moving back-and-forth between time periods with an increasingly pervasive sense of unease, Black Thorn is perfect for book clubs and fans of Belinda Bauer. ‘A creepy and atmospheric tale, beautifully and sensitively written’ – The Guardian Readers love Black Thorn: ‘Grips so hard you can't stop reading’ ‘Clever, haunting and beautifully written’ ‘An author that never puts a foot wrong’
