Well plotted, original and fast moving' -- ***** Reader reviews **************************************************************************** THE TRUTH DOESN'T HURT. IT KILLS. You know that feeling? The one that makes you want to glance over your shoulder? All Clara Benning wants is a peaceful life as a wildlife vet, and to hide her disfigurement from the world. But now she doesn't have a choice. Because a man has died from a suspicious snake bite, and Clara's concern leads her to the abandoned house at the end of the lane, and an unspeakable tragedy that occurred half a century ago. What is it exactly that lies in store...?
