**One woman's secret is her neighbour's opportunity.**

Verity Baxter has lived - quietly, carefully - in Trinity Fields all her life. Then Ailsa and Tom Tilson move in next door and everything changes. Can Verity trust what she hears through the walls?

And what about the Tilsons: should they pity their eccentric neighbour and her messy house? Or should they fear her?

Either way, like the ivy that creeps through their shared garden fence, their lives are entwined now. And the knots can only get tighter . . .

'Engrossing psychological crime' LITERARY REVIEW

Reminiscent of Virago Classics and Alan Bennett monologues, it's an accomplished and addictive addition to the great British
tradition of spinster fiction, and Verity - perceptive about many things, blind to others - could well turn out to be as rich a portrait as in any novel this year
