Synopsis – One Dark Summer
It was the summer that changed everything…
With trembling hands, Meg knocks on the door of the large manor house. Behind her, the view down to the river is spectacular. She’s here to be the nanny to two young children.
It’s not the job Meg is anxious about, though. It’s the house itself that scares her, and the secrets lurking inside. Not only that, but will her new employer recognise her?
The door opens. A beautiful, smiling woman greets her and ushers her inside.
As she walks in, Meg realizes the house is exactly as she remembers. Her employer hasn’t changed much, either, unlike Meg. The last time they met was fifteen years ago, when Meg was a child.
Because this is where Meg lived the summer her mother went missing. The summer her life changed. The summer Meg believes she killed a man.
Now she’s back, in disguise as Margaret the nanny, and determined to find out what really happened. But some secrets are best left buried. Because someone knows exactly who Meg is, and they will do whatever it takes to keep her quiet…
A completely gripping, powerfully-written, nailbitingly-twisty thriller, guaranteed to keep readers up all night, from bestselling Richard & Judy Bookclub author, Saskia Sarginson. Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden and Girl on the Train.
Author Bio
I spent my childhood in a cottage in the middle of a Suffolk pine forest, where my two younger siblings and I had the freedom to roam the forest alone. This experience helped inspire my best-selling debut novel, The Twins, which was a Richard and Judy pick 2013. My other novels are: Without You, The Other Me, The Stranger, How It Ends, The Bench, The Central Line and Seven Months of Summer. My books have been translated into 15 languages. It’s exciting to think of them being read all over the world.
My latest novel, Identical, a psychological suspense, is in out May 2024. When I was little I wanted to be a zoologist. But actually I’ve been a Guardian columnist, an editor, a journalist on women’s magazines, and a script reader. Writing novels is my favourite job. When I’m not writing, I love to dance tango, make (and eat) cakes, walk the dog, and discuss plot points with my husband.
