An Ordinary House
by Rae Starling
We lived in a house on Beech Avenue.
Outside-People say we're safe now.
But one of us wants to go back.
Back to that house and the darkness it held.
Police raid an ordinary house in a quiet suburban street and find a traumatised teenager held captive with his family. He is told he is safe now. But he doesn't know what to believe. They tell him he is a victim, but his memories don't match with what his siblings and the press are telling him about his home.
As he struggles to make sense of his new world, he must find and face the truth.
With one of his siblings set on revenge, should he forget his family, or turn from victim to killer?
‘An exceptional psychological thriller...unlike anything I have ever read - I devoured it.’ Ruth Gilligan, bestselling author of The Butchers
