She looked scared that day, like she wanted to do nothing more than run as she stood up there on the stage, him to the side of her, watching her like a hawk.

That was the last time I saw her alive...

----

It’s been years since Rain went home.

To many, growing up on the Tanglewood estate, nestled in a beautiful corner of the Cotswolds countryside, seemed like a dream.

But for Rain, memories of her childhood there are forever tainted by what happened that summer. The wild party. The body…

Now estranged from her mother, and all ties to Tanglewood, Rain thought she’d moved on.

Yet when another dead body is found at Tanglewood, she knows she must face her past.

Rain has long held suspicions that what happened that summer wasn’t an accident. It was murder.

And now's her chance to prove it.
