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?

Drawn into a world of new friends, she spends increasing amounts of time online and volunteers more and more information about herself.

But when the body of a young woman with striking similarities to Yvonne's missing friend is found, Yvonne realises that they're all in terrifying danger. Can she persuade Sergeant Claire Boyle, herself about to go on maternity leave, to take her fears seriously?
