Book Synopsis

For Sarah and Patrick, family life has always been easy. But when Sarah''s mother dies, it sends her into a downwards spiral. Knowing they need a fresh start, Patrick moves the family to the idyllic, beach-side house he grew up in.

But there is a catch: while for Patrick their new home carries only happy memories, to everyone else it''s ''the Murder House'' - named for the family killed there. Patrick is adamant they can make it perfect again, though with their children plagued by nightmares and the odd ''gifts'' arriving on the doorstep, Sarah''s not so sure.

And the longer they live in their ''dream home'', the more different Sarah''s kind, loving husband becomes. Soon Sarah starts to wonder what secrets hide beneath its walls, and if they are secrets Patrick has been hiding his whole life . . .
