Dead of Winter - Paperback

Dead of Winter shuts a woman inside her estranged brother's manor house three days before Christmas, with a blizzard outside and the power gone.

The hour that does not end

Lola finally tracks down the brother she never knew she had. He grants her one hour, his wife is polite and tense throughout it, and then the snow closes the road behind her.

What readers say

It moves fast, the manor and the storm carry a lot of the atmosphere, and a fair number of readers guessed the twist early and kept turning pages regardless.

From the publisher

The chilly BRAND NEW. pulse-pounding psychological thriller from the INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING author of The House Sitter, Keri Beevis

A sister looking for answers.
A brother with secrets to hide...

Three days before Christmas, I travel to Midwinter Manor in Norfolk through a worsening, bitter snowstorm to meet Daniel, the brother I never knew existed. He has reluctantly granted me an hour of his time.

The welcome I receive is frosty. Daniel is cold, intimidating and unfriendly, while his wife, Rose, is polite, but tense. From the moment I step through the door of this imposing manor house, I sense I'm not welcome.

When I go to leave, the snowy blizzard prevents me. Then there's a power cut and I can't let anyone know where I am. I realise I am trapped.

Something feels wrong in this house. The way Daniel and Rose speak in whispers behind closed doors suggests something's amiss. As cracks start to form in their stories, I wonder what it is they are hiding.

Midwinter Manor is a house full of secrets, and some of them are deadly.

The thrilling new read for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell.
