When a child under her jurisdiction is murdered at the hands of an abusive family, social worker Georgina Jefferson suffers an inevitable, and unbearable backlash. Desperate to escape the adverse media attention, she moves to the cottage of her recently deceased brother. Not only does she believe this to be a good way to discover more about a brother she never knew, she also feels a winter spent on her own in the country will help her get her life back on track. Foolish sentiments indeed, as it transpires, especially when a burnt doll is discovered in the woodshed....
White controls the pace of this well-written novel with supreme skill, building up a tangible atmosphere of fear which threatens to unhinge Georgina completely. Delicious stuff. --Claire Allfree

This is not a novel to read on your own or in an isolated spot. A master of the storyteller's art, Gillian White slowly and subtly builds up the suspense until it reaches a truly terrifying and totally unexpected denouement. A well-crafted and unnerving work.
