The Sudden Departure of the Frasers

From the author of ITV’s Our House starring Martin Compston and Tuppence Middleton





They were the life and soul of the street. So why did they disappear overnight? The thrilling new novel from bestselling author Louise Candlish.

When Christy and Joe Davenport are handed the keys to Number 40 on picture-perfect Lime Park Road, Christy knows it should be a dream come true. How strange though that the house was on the market for such a low price. That the previous owners, the Frasers, renovated the entire property yet moved out within a year. That none of the neighbours will talk to Christy.

As her curiosity begins to give way to obsession, Christy finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery of the house's previous occupants - and the dark and shocking secret that tore the street apart...
