"Deeply resonant, utterly original, compelling, and satisfying, Catriona McPherson's The Child Garden is the work of a masterof character, tone, setting, and plotwriting at the thriller-most top of her form."John Lescroat, New York Times bestselling author.

Eden was its name. "An alternative school for happy children." But it closed in disgrace after a student's suicide. Now it's a care home, its grounds neglected and overgrown. Gloria Harkness is its only neighbor, staying close to her son who lives there in the home, lighting up her life and breaking her heart each day.
When a childhood friend turns up at her door, Gloria doesn't hesitate before asking him in. He claims a girl from Eden is stalking him and has goaded him into meeting her at the site of the suicide. Only then, the dead begin to speakit was murder, they say.

Gloria is in over her head before she can help it. Her loneliness, her loyalty, and her all-consuming love for her son lead her into the heart of a dark secret that threatens everything she lives for.

Catriona McPherson writes the Agatha, Macavity and Bruce Alexander-winning Dandy Gilver series, set in her native Scotland in the 1920s. Her darker (that's not difficult) standalones  latest: COME TO HARM  have won her an Anthony and been shortlisted for an Edgar. She lives near Davis with a black cat and a scientist and is the current president of Sisters in Crime.
