The Last Time I Saw Her Alive




Two bodies, discovered thirty years apart. One mystery, the truth of which will shock them all...a slow-burn murder mystery for fans of Lucy Clarke and Ruth Ware

It’s been years since Rain went home.
To many, growing up on the Tanglewood estate, nestled in a beautiful corner of the Cotswolds countryside, seemed like a dream.
But for Rain, memories of her childhood there are forever tainted by what happened that summer. The wild party. The body…
Now estranged from her mother, and all ties to Tanglewood, Rain thought she’d moved on.
Yet when another dead body is found at Tanglewood, she knows she must face her past.
Rain has long held suspicions that what happened that summer wasn’t an accident. It was murder.
And now's her chance to prove it.
