I’m thrilled to be hosting a giveaway in partnership with Bloomsbury Australia!! Ten lucky winners will receive a copy of Keep You Close by Lucie Whitehouse, which has been one of my favourite reads so far this year!
When renowned artist Marianne Glass is found dead in her Oxford garden, the police rule it a tragic accident. There’s no sign of a break-in or evidence that anyone else was in the house when she fell from the roof.
Rowan Winter isn’t convinced. She and Marianne may not have seen each other for ten years, but they were once the closest of friends—practically sisters—and Rowan knows Marianne suffered crippling vertigo; she might have gone up to the roof to smoke, but she would never have ventured close to the edge.
With the Glasses looking for someone to stay at the house and keep an eye on Marianne’s latest set of paintings while they settle the estate, Rowan sees an opportunity to investigate what really happened to her old friend and reconnect with the family that once regarded her as one of their own. However, being back in Oxford stirs up memories, good and bad, and, one by one, the secrets of the past begin to resurface. More than that, it soon becomes clear that someone is, indeed, watching the house.
Keep You Close (Bloomsbury Circus, 2016) is a taut and twisting story of obsession, buried secrets and the burning desire to belong.
To find out more about Keep You Close, take a peek ay my full review and interview with author Lucie Whitehouse.
