RECOVERING from their mother’s attempted suicide, young sisters Caroline and Joanna spend the summer of 1990 at their great-aunt’s quiet Cotswold cottage in A Place to Lie by Rebecca Griffiths (Sphere, £19.99).
But what might have been an idyllic break from their harsh reality ends in horror, in a village tainted by sad secrets and terrible passions. Nearly 30 years later, a tragic accident takes Joanna back to Witchwood, where she finds answers to questions she might have been better off not asking.
