Description

BEST BOOK OF SUMMER 2023, according to SUNDAY TIMES. She saw everything that happened that night… But does she know the truth?

The murder that shocked the nation. Twenty years ago, Joseph Flowers cold-bloodedly killed his parents and his younger brother—then, as if nothing had happened, he spent the night at a friend’s house working on his computer game. In the morning, he crashed his car into a tree and has been in a coma ever since. Their family farm became known as the Red House—where the walls had been soaked in blood.

She thought she knew the killer. Only Eve, Joseph’s younger sister, survived that night. She was the only witness to the murder of her family, but even now she still doesn’t understand what drove her brother to commit that terrible crime. What if she was wrong?

As an adult, Eve has to rethink her memories when new evidence surfaces about the case. And there are rumors that on that night Joseph created a hidden level in his game—the one that holds the key to the truth about the Flowers family murder.
