Andrew, a judge, and Lydia Fitzsimons murder Annie Doyle, a drug-addicted prostitute, and bury her in their garden. Andrew begins to fall apart and Lydia becomes ever more determined to protect their social standing and their son, Laurence. But Laurence is not as innocent as his mother thinks. He's obsessed with the dead girl's family. This has the makings of a Hitchcock thriller. Need to read another book by Liz Nugent. You need to read this!
