A compelling and unpredictable tour of the tensions between generations.

Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year

'A dark, rich brew of malice and murder. Secrets are deep, motives masked.' - The Bulletin

Mean, bitter Mathilda Gillespie has been dead for days - wrists slashed, pills spilled, body cold in the bath. Her death shouts suicide, but would even Mathilda have been crazy enough to force over her own head a rusted metal cage grotesquely laced with nettles and daisies?

This brilliant psychological thriller takes us on a compelling and unpredictable tour of the tensions between generations, and along a trail of grief made obscure by the mysterious loss of Mathilda's detailed, shocking and very personal diaries.

'All of Walter's trademarks: bizarre crime, wicked women, taut suspense' - Susan Geason
