Packed with delicious atmosphere and slow-burn suspense, the new must-have mystery from author of Richard and Judy pick The Heatwave

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.

A gorgeously written and hugely atmospheric thriller with a dark, compelling mystery at its heart

Lucy Foley

The Last Time I Saw Her Alive is an evocative, atmospheric, and deeply satisfying novel. I was thoroughly drawn in by Rain and her world, acutely feeling all the push and pull of her home, the beauty of the wild Cotswolds landscape, and the danger lurking beneath the surface. Stylish and heartfelt, I loved it!

Emylia Hall

The Last Time I Saw Her Alive is, simply, sensational; both fiendishly compelling and jaw-droppingly beautiful. Kate Riordan has a unique and wonderful talent for complex characters, almost unbearable suspense and wildly evocative, haunting settings. I was blown away by this novel

Rosie Walsh

Both a twisty thriller teeming with family secrets and a gorgeously written exploration of childhood ghosts, truths that won’t stay hidden and the many shapes haunting can take, The Last Time I Saw Her Alive is Kate Riordan at her finest. With all the haunting beauty of Midsommar and the intoxicating mystery of The God of the Woods, this story will creep under your skin and into your heart, right to the breathtaking conclusion. Wonderful’
