I have a gardener's inherent belief in the natural order of things. Soft-petalled flowers that go to seed. The resolute passage of the seasons. Swallows that fly thousands of miles to follow the eternal summer. Children who don't die before their parents. A community in shock When eighteen-year-old Rosie Anderson disappears, the idyllic village where she lived will never be the same again. Local gardener Kate is struck with guilt. She'd come to know Rosie well, and thought she understood her - perhaps better even than Rosie's own mother. A family torn apart Rosie was beautiful, kind and gentle. She came from a loving family and she had her whole life ahead of her. Who could possibly want to harm her? And why? A keeper of secrets Kate is convinced the police are missing something. She's certain that someone in the village knows more than they're letting on.

I was really disappointed by the ending. I was hoping there was a twist, but I pretty much had it figured out by 1/4 of the way through.
I received a copy of this book thru Netgalley to read and review.
I could not put this book down. It was so dark and twisted. The eerie flashbacks that the murdered girl witnesses of her mothers life are very pointed and sad. The main character very much interested me with her gardening work and work with her horses. I liked that she used the horses to break thru to the girls.
Towards the end, I was having suspicions of who the murderer was and I was right. But the plot is a thrill ride that will make you not want to put this book down!
