When, while renovating her grandmother Rose's cottage, she uncovers the remains of two bodies, pregnant Saffron Cutler must protect Rose who suffers from Alzheimer's from a murder inquiry, plunging her life in danger as she tries to piece together what Rose knows. When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations, the last thing she expects is builders uncovering human remains of two bodies. Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. The police launch a murder inquiry and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner-- Saffy's grandmother, Rose. In a nursing home, with Alzheimer's, Rose can't help the police-- but it is clear she remembers something. What happened thirty years ago? Why did no one miss the victims? And is Saffy now in danger? -- adapted from jacket
