Blurb
Scarlett's aunt lived - and was brutally murdered - in the apartment upstairs. But Scarlett is determined that life should return to some kind of normal, even if that means living with just a ceiling between her and the scene of such a devastating crime.
After all, this is her home. She's safe here. Isn't she?
Dee is busy balancing her job as a funeral director with organising an event to mark the disappearance of her best friend, ten years ago. She's got enough on her plate without worrying about the threatening messages that are appearing on her company's Facebook page.
When Scarlett approaches Dee about planning her aunt's funeral, an unexpected link emerges between them. Together, the two women could uncover secrets that have long been buried. Even while someone wants to stop them digging . . .
My Thoughts
My first read from the author and I loved this book. It is a slow burner but it was a compelling read and worth it.
The characters were well developed and you could sense the emotions coming through. Two story lines intertwined really well and then ending wasn't what I had guessed. We get to hear from Scarlett and Dee and figure out how they link together. Although they aren't narrated as the first person, which I would have preferred as you can relate more to the characters, it was still good to read. We get to hear about a lot of new characters probably in the first half of the book and it starts to make sense as the plot develops and you start to piece it together.
I really liked how one character had a chronic Illness and it was sensitively and well navigated through the story.
I felt it added more murder mystery and I enjoyed reading it.
