WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES

Don’t look into the mirror for too long. You never know who might be looking back. A dark psychological crime thriller set in Vienna and the second book in the Charlotte Bell series. Charlotte Bell returns to her hometown for the first time in thirty years, determined to uncover why her father kept her away from her mother’s family for most of her life. The first answers are waiting in the flat where her childhood ended, and Charlotte quickly realises that revisiting the past is rarely as therapeutic as people like to pretend. Instead, every truth she stumbles across pulls her further away from the person she thought she was. So much for clarity. As the truth about the women in her family begins to emerge, one question becomes impossible to ignore: How much of their darkness lives on in her? Apparently, some families pass down more than memories. Elsewhere in Vienna, Detective Inspector Robert Hahn is facing a nightmare of his own. After years of silence, the Alphabet Killer has struck again, leaving another mutilated body in the same park where Charlotte once played as a child. For some, digging deeper is a mistake. For others, it’s already too late to stop. Not every answer is worth finding.
