When two sisters inherit their aunt’s house on the Norfolk coast, they are forced to confront the past. Thrown together on an eroding clifftop, increasingly haunted by memories of their aunt and disturbed cousin, they try to make sense of the present and its relation to their family history.

Why did their aunt die? What does their neighbour want with them, or the house? And why did their late cousin seem to hate them so much it almost reaches beyond death?

What Was Left of Her is a chilling modern gothic novel, perfect for fans of Susan Hill and Shirley Jackson.

What Was Left Of Her is a captivating story about a young woman named Cassie, who had just lost her beloved aunt who was like a mother to her and her sister Alex. Their aunt, Lucie, was a beautiful woman of class and refined elegance, and anyone who knew her could attest to the fact that she seemed out of place in the small, downtrodden town where she spent most of her life. Why she never left was a mystery. How she died was a mystery.

Two sisters, Cassie and Alex, reunite after the death of their Aunt Lucie. While going through her house, the two recount their troubled and disturbed childhood with the loving but haunted aunt who raised them and their developmentally disabled and potentially sociopathic cousin, Bella. While they remain in Lucie’s coastal home, strange things start happening. Cassie sees someone out of the corner of her eye, hears whispers, and things are mislaid. She is beginning to wonder if maybe Bella who was believed to have disappeared might still be alive.
