Belladonna Maze

Meer over het boek

From bestselling crime novelist and renowned Irish TV journalist Sinead Crowley, gripping dual timelines entwine in this heart-stopping story of old secrets and forbidden passion. An old house can hold many secrets. Hollowpark in the west of Ireland certainly does. At the heart of the gardens is an intricate maze, named after a deadly poison, Belladonna. If you know the way through, it's magical, a hiding place and playground like no other. If you don't, it's a place of fear and sinister riddles, where a young girl once went missing and was never seen again. Grace comes to Hollowpark as a nanny for young Skye FitzMahon. Soon the mysterious past of Hollowpark has seduced her. Who is the woman she sometimes glimpses in an upstairs window? Or the apparition who keeps showing up unexpectedly, pleading, 'Find me'? And how can she fight her growing attraction to Skye's father? 'So enjoyable. Great characterisation, social commentary and a tense, grippy plot. An excellent read' Marian Keyes, on One Bad Turn 'Moving, at times wryly funny and always completely convincing ... I loved it' Erin Kelly, on Can Anybody Help Me? 'Extremely well-structured and brilliantly paced ... Cements Sinead Crowley's status as one of Ireland's best crime writers' Irish Independent, on One Bad Turn 'Believable characters combined with escalating tension make this an edge-of-your-seat read' Elly Griffiths, on Can Anybody Help Me?
