It was a victimless crime…
Estate Agent Clara is struggling to make a sale. With her abusive ex-husband on the brink of finding where she’s hiding, she needs to make a commission soon or lose her chance to escape.
Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness has remained unsold for years, and Clara is sure that an ‘innocent’ fire will force the price down. But the perfect crime soon turns into the perfect nightmare: there was a witness, a stranger in the village, and he’s not going to let Clara get away with it that easily…
MY Review
The prologue
For sale on Loch Ness an idyllic holiday retreat. Quite and private. Period property prime for updating, and offered with no onward chain. After reading these first few lines, would you carry on reading? I urge you all yes, yes, and Yes! It’s one of the best books that I have read.
