The Couple at No. 9 by Claire Douglas

Discover the unputdownable and nail-biting Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month, The Couple at No. 9 by Claire Douglas. This gripping psychological thriller explores dark secrets buried beneath the surface of a dream home, leading to a terrifying nightmare for the new occupants.

When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place, renovations quickly uncover a horrifying discovery: two bodies buried under the patio. Forensics suggest the remains have been interred for at least thirty years, immediately drawing suspicion toward the cottage's former owner—Saffron's grandmother, Rose.

As the police investigate, Rose's Alzheimer's causes her memory to become increasingly confused, though it is clear she remembers crucial details. Saffron soon fears she and the cottage are being watched, forcing readers to question what truly happened thirty years ago, the role her grandmother played, and whether Saffron herself is now in danger.
