1999

When her folklore obsessed best friend, Sophie, goes missing in the middle of the night, Victoria (chocolate-lover, people-pleaser) fears she may be the latest victim of Black Mill; a sinister landmark from where women have disappeared since 1654. But when Sophie begins communicating with her two weeks after she vanished, Victoria must accept that her friend left of her own accord. With an unplanned pregnancy and hasty proposal from boyfriend Daniel vying for her attention, Victoria moves on…

.. until another message from Sophie resurrects her belief that Sophie died the night she disappeared. Especially when she finds some of Sophie’s treasured belongings amongst her husband, Daniel’s, things.

Appalled by what she believes is his deliberate gaslighting, Victoria reconnects with her old friends hoping to learn what really happened in 1999. But her search for the truth threatens to destroy her marriage, friendships, even her life.
