In this thrilling gothic suspense debut by Sara Foster in the tradition of Rosamund Lupton and Sophie Hannah, a young mother searches Yorkshire's windswept moors for the truth behind her husband's mysterious disappearance. THE ANSWERS ARE HIDING BENEATH THE SHADOWS When Grace's husband, Adam, inherits an isolated North Yorkshire cottage, they leave the bustle of London behind to try a new life. A week later, Adam vanishes without a trace, leaving their baby daughter, Millie, in her stroller on the doorstep. The following year, Grace returns to the tiny village on the untamed heath. Everyonethe police, her parents, even her best friend and younger sisteris convinced that Adam left her. But Grace, unable to let go of her memories of their love and life together, cannot accept this explanation. She is desperate for answers, but the slumbering, deeply superstitious hamlet is unwilling to give up its secrets. As Grace hunts through forgotten corners of the cottage searching for clues, and digs deeper into the lives of the locals, strange dreams begin to haunt her. Are the villagers hiding something, or is she becoming increasingly paranoid? Only as snowfall threatens to cut her and Millie off from the rest of the world does Grace make a terrible discovery. She has been looking in the wrong place for answers all along, and she and her daughter will be in terrible danger if she cannot get them away in time. "A haunting tale of loss and one woman's search for the truth no matter the consequences. This vividly written novel will leave you breathless and as chilled as the starkly beautiful North Yorkshire moors where this compelling story unfolds."

Perfect snowy weather read - a missing husband, desolate landscape and sinister neighbors make for a satisfying mystery before bed.

I enjoyed this story, yes it was predictable, yes it was a bit slow at times and there wasn't any real suspense but it was a nice story with all the ends tied neatly in a bow.

Laura317 I love the little church in the snow. Is that near you? 7y
Jhullie @Laura317 sadly no, I live in Australia. It's a stock photo that I thought fitted the plot. Pretty isn't it! 7y

I really wanted to like this book. It had all of the elements I enjoy - mystery, historical setting - but it lacked something. I had to keep reminding myself that this is set in 18th century America, right after the Revolutionary War. The dialogue reminded me too much of contemporary dialogue. And, I really disliked the lead character. Not the book for me, after all.

It's not quite 9:30 on the US East Coast, and I am fading fast...long week and restless nights does not do well for a night of reading. Maybe one more chapter before I call it a night. Thanks for a fun idea @Ambrosnazzy ! #Litsypartyofone

Sue Holy cow! Where are you? Brisbane has been delightful for the last week or so. 7y
Jhullie @Sue we were camping out past Maroon Dam on a friend's property. It was dreadfully hot until the storms rolled in. Back in Brizzie now thankfully. 7y
Sue Ah, that explains it. Hope you had fun and didn't fry to badly! 7y
