During the summer of 1976, Mrs Creasy goes missing from The Avenue. Ten-year-old friends Grace and Tilly decide to try and find out what has happened to her.
As they visit the houses in The Avenue, secrets from the past start to emerge and the carefull lives that the residents have built for themselves begin to crumble.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.
