Lie Quietly

“Haunting, heartbreaking... stays with you long after the last page.” C.R. Westbrook, author of Troublemaker

Robbers Bridge hides more than secrets—it harbours the dead.

1959. Childhood friends Jackey and Annie are bound by a love as wild and untamed as the moors that surround them. But the close-knit village of Robbers Bridge still clings to the old ways, and not everyone wishes the young couple well. When jealousy festers and dark superstition takes hold, a single act of malice shatters their future—and sets in motion a tragedy that will echo for decades.

2009. Hannah and her husband arrive in Robbers Bridge, searching for a fresh start before their baby is born. Annie’s long-abandoned childhood home seems perfect—until the house begins to whisper its secrets. The locals turn cold, strange events unfold, and the walls themselves seem steeped in grief. As Hannah digs into the past, she uncovers something vengeful that refuses to rest.

The past never lies quietly. It waits.
