The Crooked House

Alison is as close to anonymous as she can get; hers is a life lived under the radar. But once Alison was Esme Grace, a teenager who lived in a dilapidated house on the edge of a bleak estuary. Then one night a terrible thing happened in the crooked house, a nightmare of violence from which only Alison emerged and from which she has been running ever since. Only when she meets Paul Bartlett does Alison realise that if she's to have any chance of happiness, she has to return to her old life and confront the darkness that has pursued her ever since and uncover the truth of what happened that terrible night.
