The Girl Beyond the Gate
Becca Day
Welcome to Kensington Grove, the safest place to call home...
Jodie Madison can't think of a better place for a fresh start than the exclusive, gated community of The Grove. But from the moment she passes through the wrought iron gates, she starts to suspect she's made a mistake.
Despite her vow to keep apart from the other residents, Jodie can't help but feel drawn to her unnerving neighbour, Norah Williams, and terminally ill daughter, Lacey. Jodie knows she should stay away, but something draws her in.
When a murder shocks The Grove, Jodie vows to do everything in her power to save Lacey from her mother. But as more secrets emerge from Norah's shadowy past, Jodie is faced with the unthinkable - Norah's not so different to herself, and neither woman is innocent.
The past won't stay hidden forever. And The Grove will be an unforgiving witness.

"Day's writing is a pleasure to read."
Will Dean
"The Girl Beyond The Gate is a remarkable debut. Becca Day is definitely an author to watch!"
Lesley Kara
"A sharp and tense debut that made me gasp out loud."
Jo Jakeman
"The Girl Beyond The Gate is the type of book that demands your attention, the type of book you can't stop thinking about when you dare to do something else, like sleep. The characters were well-drawn and interesting and had far more lurking beneath the surface than their shiny exteriors portrayed. Also, I was CONVINCED I had guessed the ending but like so many before me I was wrong."
S. V. Leonard
"Fast-paced and dripping with dark secrets; The Girl Beyond The Gate gripped me from the very start before propelling me towards that powerful ending. Highly recommended."
Sarah Bonner
"Tantalisingly toxic. A fantastic debut with an OMG ending!"
