No-one is who you think they are

Sophia´s parents lead quiet, unremarkable lives. At least that is what she´s always believed.

Until the day she arrives at her childhood home to find a house ringing with silence. Her mother is hanging from a tree. Her father is lying in a pool of his own blood, near to death.

Especially those closest to you

The police are convinced it is an attempted murder-suicide. But Sophia is sure that the woman who brought her up isn´t a killer. As her father is too ill to talk it is up to Sophia to clear her mother´s name. And to do this she needs to delve deep into her family´s past - a past full of dark secrets she never suspected were there . . .
