The winter children

The Winter Children is a haunting mystery from Lulu Taylor, author of The Snow Angel.

Behind a selfless act of kindness lies dark intentions . . . After years of IVF, Olivia and Dan are blissfully happy at the arrival of their long dreamed-of twins.

At the same time, they make the move to Renniston Hall, a huge, Elizabethan house that belongs to absent friends.

Living rent-free in a small part of the unmodernised house, once a boarding school, they can begin to enjoy the family life they've always wanted. But there is a secret at the heart of their family, one that Olivia does not yet know. And the house, too, holds darkness deep within it . . .
