BEST FRIENDS. THE WORST BETRAYAL. A MISTAKE THAT COULD COST HER LIFE.London, 1949, and rising star jazz singer, Queenie Osbourne, finds she is pregnant by her best friend’s fiancé — a situation that would ruin her career and break her best friend’s heart. Knowing she must terminate the pregnancy she's given the name of a man that can help her: John Christie of 10 Rillington Place — a man who will forever be associated with the murderous spree he embarked upon between 1943 and 1953, crimes so heinous that the infamous address where they occurred, 10 Rillington Place, was expunged from the record and renamed Ruston Mews when the row of unprepossessing three-story dwellings in Notting Hill was demolished. PRAISE FOR REBECCA GRIFFITHS:'There’s something of the tenterhooks tension of a Daphne du Maurier to Rebecca Griffith’s dreamy and disturbing domestic thriller . . . Griffiths has a superb handle on her characters and their twisting motivations, spinning out a story of memory and long-term consequence that grips from cover to cover.' — Waterstones'An increasingly tense narrative with stylish writing that keeps her a cut above most of her rivals.’ — Guardian'Twisty, atmospheric and elegantly written, it has echoes of Daphne du Maurier with its shivering paranoia, fear and dread.’ — Daily Mail‘This is a chilling thriller . . . a brilliantly written book.’ — Sun'Gripping.’ — Hello'Creepy.’ — Heat'Truly chilling.’ — Woman
