Praise for Rosalind Stopps: 'A tense page-turning thriller . . . powerful' 'There are shades of Kate Atkinson in the way Rosalind balances dark themes with dry humour, a great plot, exquisitely realised characters, and more than a hint of feminist sensibility' 'Guaranteed to hook you . . . both touching and darkly funny' * * * Ever since her beloved Jed died, all Virginia wants is to be left alone. But the little girl who lives down the street is so sweet, that even in her grief-fuelled state Virginia's heart softens whenever she sees her. And that's why Virginia knows there's something wrong in the little girl's house. So when the mother asks Virginia to take her child far away, somewhere safe, Virginia says yes. The last thing Virginia would call herself is a hero. She's just doing what anyone else would do, right? But when she realises she's the only thing standing between the child and those who want to hurt her, she knows she needs to pull out all the stops to keep the child safe . . . Because sometimes it's the most ordinary people who do the most extraordinary things
