Vanessa had an exciting, somewhat glamorous job and a loving fiance - till it all went wrong. Now she's living with her sister, but still dreams of a home of her own. But why would she kill the owner of a house she goes to view? Vanessa can't remember the sequence of events but as she reflects over her recent past, a dark story emerges that sees her confusing reality with fantasy - just what is true in her recollections and what isn't? This is a well-paced and absorbing thriller noir, with Gothic undertones, which addresses some very dark modern-day issues. Though Vanessa is a sympathetic character, the reader is never sure of her innocence, which makes for an enthralling read.
