Jenny Maxwell's Bright Rooms is an enthralling and spine-chilling novel about murder, family secrets and the supernatural.
Teenager Tamsin is found hanging from a tree in woodland near her home. Her aunt Celia can't understand why someone so young would take their own life or why she would want to die at thirteen. Haunted by the voice of her dead niece and overburdened with the guilt that she neglected Tamsin when she was alive, Celia decides to investigate the suicide.
That's when the plot twists begin...
When the post-mortem reveals that Tamsin was pregnant, hinting at a promiscuous lifestyle, Celia delves into Tamsin's past. But what she soon learns from Tamsin's friends and teachers contradicts the forensic evidence. In fact, they believe that she was sexually inexperienced, convincing Celia that someone else is involved in her death.
And from there we are taken on a journey of discovery as Celia begins to unravel a sordid world of abuse and exploitation.
Maxwell writes compelling, atmospheric and powerful prose. Bright Rooms will have you gripped and turning the pages in anticipation of its climactic ending. It's an engrossing, moving and chilling novel of psychological suspense.
