Back cover blurb: A cruel bully. A troubled daughter. A desperate mother. A body in the woods. But who is the hunter and who is the prey? When a shocking crime takes place in a close-knit community, it exposes secrets and conflicts and threatens to tear families apart. How far will one parent go to protect the child they love?

Lucy Rose, is a quiet teenager who's life is being ruined by two bullies, Amber and her older sister Jess.

They are a troubled pair, living with a new foster family after a tragic early start in life.

When Rachel, Lucy's Mother comes across the body of a teenager whilst out running, her first instinctive reaction is relief, when she realises it is Amber.

She can no longer bully her sweet daughter who has never done anything to hurt anyone.

This relief quickly turns to panic as she realises her daughter was missing for a large portion of the previous night. 

How will this look to the Police?

Rachel decides that she must protect her daughter at all costs, and begins to use her own role as a social worker to do some digging in to the girls background and try and make something or someone else accountable.

What she discovers is beyond what she ever could have imagined, but it also brings in to question some things she thought she knew about those around her.

Could there be more to this murder than meets the eye? 

And just who can Rachel trust?

The Night She Dies is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
