About this ebook

‘I gobbled it up in two sittings, quickly turning pages to see what would happen next. The windswept, desolate setting, cold, gloomy manor house and dark characters created the perfect stormy day read... And did I mention the twists? Oh my goodness!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When a young widow’s little girl vanishes, could a dark family secret hold the answer?

On the death of her aunt Gwyn, Lowri returns once more to Gwyn’s home on the remote island of Anglesey, Wales, with her young daughter Ruby in tow. Lowri hadn’t seen her aunt in years, but this beautiful island offers a fresh start.

Yet right away, strange things begin to happen. Ruby insists an old woman is visiting her when no one else is watching, and a tattered old doll keeps being left for Ruby to find.

Then Ruby goes missing. Desperately seeking answers no one seems to have, Lowri looks to her dark family past for clues. But the secrets she uncovers suggest that Ruby is not the only one in danger, and time is running out – for both of them...

A terrifically dark and twisty tale that asks: can you ever really trust those closest to you? Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Cass Green and C.J. Tudor.

Ratings and reviews

Wyn Clark weaves a dark gothic tale that raises the question, can you ever really trust those closest to you? Set on the remote island of Anglesey, Wales, creates a haunting atmosphere that suits the story well and it ‘s supernatural undertones make for some spine-chilling moments.

I did not like this book at all. It was so sad and depressing and made me feel miserable reading it. The characters were totally unlikeable, even the little girl. The storyline did not ring true to my mind and the setting was bleak and depressing. WHisper Cottage, the writer's other book was brilliant but this one was sadly not.

WOW!.... I was really surprised at this book... It got such low reviews normally when books have low reviews I don't read them but something about this one made me want to read it and straight away I was drawn in I love books with that eeerie! feeling and this was very eeeeerie! all through from the setting to the unexplained happenings... I wondered what the cottage name was in English all the way through and its Ty Coed Pinwydd - Pine Trees House 🌲🏠🌲 I could not put the book down you got such a feel for characters... It was the ending that surprised me not in a good way asuch... I loved the family sides but it seemed to go on and on from there with an unexpected but not really needed to end like that... You will have to read for yourself will give a good 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍

About the author

Anne Wyn Clark lives in the Midlands with her husband and son, plus a rather temperamental cat, a rabbit and a chinchilla. She has three (now grown-up) children and five grandchildren. She is particularly partial to Italian food, decent red wine (or any coloured wine come to that...) and cake – and has been known to over-indulge in each on occasions. She has a penchant for visiting old graveyards and speculating on the demise of those entombed beneath. This love of all things gothic inspired her to try her hand at producing something dark and twisty, culminating in the haunting Whisper Cottage and chilling The Last House on the Cliff.
