Into the Woods

A haunting tale of family secrets, betrayal, and the shadows of the past.

In the summer of 1990, young sisters Caroline and Joanna are sent to stay with their Great Aunt Dora in the idyllic Gloucestershire village of Witchwood. Still reeling from their father’s tragic death and their mother’s grief, Witchwood offers a welcome escape—but the shadowy woods hide dark secrets that bring their innocence to a distressing end. Caroline, volatile and longing for attention, becomes fixated on Dean Fry, the handsome local bad boy. When a body is found in the woods, the village becomes a cauldron of suspicion. Caroline’s false accusation of Dean sets off a chain of devastating consequences, as her jealousy and need for validation spiral out of control.

Years later, Joanna is forced to confront the trauma of that childhood summer after Caroline’s sudden, mysterious death in London. Returning to Witchwood, Joanna seeks answers to her sister’s fear and as she unravels long-buried secrets, she discovers she can trust few people—and that danger still lurks in Witchwood.

What really happened that fateful summer? And will Joanna be able to survive the impending danger from those trying to bury the truth?

Into the Woods was originally published by Sphere under the title A Place to Lie.
