The House at Hanger Hill

Of course they would come for me eventually. How could I have ever thought they wouldn’t?
For as long as Betty can remember, 43 Hanger Hill has been more than just her childhood home: it’s a house haunted by whispers. Some of the rumours are vague. Others disturbingly specific . . .

On the morning of her eighteenth birthday, Betty is approached by a detective at her school gate. Now she’s officially an adult, the cop wants her help to uncover, once and for all, what really happened in the house two decades ago.

The only person who knows the whole truth is Betty’s mother. And the only person who can get her to talk is Betty.
In fact, with the police threatening to reopen the cold case, her mother’s testimony might be the only thing that can save them . . .
