In 1929, the Hope family was murdered in their cliffside Maine mansion, and seventeen-year-old Lenora was never convicted, only condemned by rumour and a nursery rhyme. Fifty-four years later, disgraced home aide Kit McDeere arrives at the decaying Hope's End to care for the now mute, wheelchair bound Lenora, whose predecessor vanished in the night. When Lenora begins tapping out her version of events on an old typewriter, Kit finds herself unpicking a story that keeps shifting under her. A Gothic mystery with real bite, and a narrator you're never quite sure you should trust.
