A fantastic debut with an OMG ending!’ Lauren North ‘Taut and compelling – The Girl Beyond The Gate is an extremely impressive debut’ William Shaw 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.
