What Happens to Us in the Forest

Book 2

Five bodies are discovered after a fire tears through an abandoned lorry depot beside London's Regent's Canal.

For criminal profiler Sam Stirling, the investigation leads to an elegant Gothic house with a secret no one wants uncovered. As he peels back the layers, influence and political power threaten to derail the case before the truth can emerge.

Because some people believe they're beyond justice.

What Happens to Us in the Forest is a tense psychological thriller about privilege, corruption and the devastating cost of exposing the truth.

Highly recommend this latest screen adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel East of Eden.

While the series retains the main themes of the novel, good versus evil, love versus betrayal and nature versus nurture, allowing the character of Cathy ( a magnificent Florence Pugh) room to breathe is where the brilliance starts. She is more than the evil monster of the book, she has a back story, she has reason to fight oppression and strive for independence, she is fully realised and centred in this version. She is permitted to express her own version of “Timshel,” free will, in any way she chooses, even if it’s a little unpalatable.

The cinematography is exceptional, such a beautiful series in which to immerse yourself, and the pace compelling and very binge-worthy for a weekend.

Thrilled with an early five ⭐️ review for my second novel, What Happens to Us in the Forest.

Psychological profiler Sam Stirling investigates the owners of a Gothic house by the Thames.

What he discovers is a private member’s club of the privileged, the well connected and the wealthy who believe they are above the law.

If you like your crime thriller’s dark, this one is for you!

Perfect for Halloween 🎃🔥
