These Shallow Graves

For a moment, Jo saw her father again standing at the window.

Watching. Waiting.

And suddenly it was there - the word she hadn't been able to come up with.

The one word that best described him.

Haunted.

Summary

But when Jo's father is found dead in his study after an alleged accident, her life becomes far more exciting than even Jo would wish.

Foreword

A wealthy family. A deadly secret. A young woman with more to lose than she knows

Additional text

If George Clooney had walked in to the room I would have told him to come back later when I'd finished ... Mattie is a heroine on a par with Jo in Little Women or Cassandra in I Capture the Castle. Donnelly captures period and place with almost supernatural skill.
