Summary
From the author of stunning historical fiction books comes a new story of crime, deceit, and murder, set in the early 1920s…
In the summer of 1914 a boy vanishes, never to be seen again.
Now, in 1920, the once esteemed Stilwell family of Darkacre Hall find themselves struggling with the legacy of the First World War. Leonard bears the physical scars, while his brother Maurice has endured more than his mind can take. Maurice’s wife Ida yearns for the lost days of privilege and pleasure and family friend Victor seems unwilling to move on.
But their lives are thrown into further disarray when the missing boy’s case is reopened – and this time they themselves are under police scrutiny.
As the dead return to haunt the living, old resentments resurface and loyalties are tested, while secrets risk being unearthed that could destroy them all.
Critic reviews
‘The Good Liars is not only a superb book, it’s a clever book. Told almost entirely within the confines of Darkacre Hall, Anita Frank still manages to combine the classic country house structure with the horrors of trench warfare on the Western Front in WWI. It’s claustrophobic, addictive and utterly compelling; I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.’ MW Craven
‘A compelling, WW1 tale of deceit, lies and the damages of war. Dripping with claustrophobic tension and absolutely unputdownable. I loved it.' Rebecca Netley
‘[T]his haunting tale of guilt and grief treads a perfect line between chilling ghost story and gripping mystery.’ Tom Hindle

A country house murder but much much more.
There’s an air of an Inspector Calls about the start of this book but then it goes in a very different direction. It’s clever, touching and has a very satisfying ending.
