Items related to The Dead House
Do the answers to Lauren's tragic unsolved past lie in the house full of death? Lauren and her aunt and uncle are returning to London after years away. For Lauren it is a return to the sight of a terrible family tragedy and a house full of ghosts. When she was six years old her mother and little sister were murdered in their home and Lauren's dad was put in prison for the crime. Now she is living a stone's throw from her old house, and despite her trepidation, Lauren is curious to know who lives there now, and how the house will make her feel. When she becomes friendly with Nathan, the son of the new owners, she finds herself back at the scene of so many nightmares—of memories, but also of things forgotten. Lauren blocked out a lot of that fateful day, but now that she's older, things are coming back to her, things that could mean her dad is innocent. After all these years of hating him Lauren now faces the prospect of loving her dad once again. But is it that easy?

Review:
A tough story... but only too plausible. Gripping. * Carousel * Cassidy's challenging fiction never sidesteps difficult issues. * Daily Mail * 'This is a successful psychological thriller that gallops along.' * Daily Telegraph * The writing is assured and eftly paced... a wry glance at the moral values of modern society. ***** * Books For Keeps * I love how it was an epistolary psychological thriller because it made the story move quickly. There was no shortage of plot twists, specifically near the end. It's a book which will haunt you long after you've finished reading it. I want to read more books by this author because I want to see what psychological plot twists and turns she comes up with next * theguardian.com * A successful psychological thriller that gallops along * The Daily Telegraph * Gripping * Carousel * Cassidy is perceptive and convincing * School Librarian * The writing is assured and deftly paced...a subtly, maturely handled love interst and a wry glance at the moral values of modern society * Books for Keeps * Cassidy's challenging fiction never sidesteps difficult issues * The Daily Mail *
