Description
A haunting and atmospheric novel about the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers from a remote tower miles from the Cornish coast. Inspired by a true story, the book explores the lives of the wives left behind and the strange fate that befell the doomed men. As the story unfolds, long-held secrets surface and truths twist into lies, piecing together what happened, why, and who to believe. The author masterfully weaves together the women's stories and the men's last weeks together in the lighthouse, creating a gripping psychological investigation that is also a pitch-perfect piece of writing. The result is a novel that will stay with you, a world of repression and lies that becomes terrifyingly tangible in the hands of the author.
