| book description |

A chilling standalone winter thriller, set in the world of the million-copy bestselling The Magpies - pre-order the paperback now as the perfect Christmas gift, or a deliciously dark treat for the holidays. 'Dark, twisted, chilling and utterly unputdownable' CLAIRE DOUGLAS It’s Noel and Dani’s first Christmas in their new home and they want everything to be perfect - lavish presents, a beautiful tree and outdoor decorations to join in with the festivities in this welcoming community. But they quickly wonder if this street is as perfect as it appears. First, there are the unwelcome presents left anonymously on their doorstep. Then they are sure someone is watching them... And why are the neighbours all obsessed with a notorious killer who is housed at the nearby women’s prison? After tragedy strikes at a Christmas party, Noel and Dani try to find out who is targeting them – but, in this case, it might be safer not to know . . . READER REVIEWS 'Mark Edwards is a joy to read.
