Black Valley Farm

The truth could ruin everything. A decade ago, the bodies of nine people were discovered at Black Valley Farm. The only suspect vanished without a trace. Clare has spent ten years living a lie, but a new podcast on the murders threatens to bring her carefully built life crashing down. Because someone else has listened to the podcast. Someone who knows Clare is lying, and who will stop at nothing to ensure the truth never comes to light. An absolutely unputdownable crime thriller. Perfect for fans of C. L. Taylor, Tim Weaver and T Orr. Munro. Praise for Black Valley Farm ‘Black Valley Farm kept me turning the pages and with intricate plotting and memorable characters this is a thrilling read.’ Patricia Gibney, author of the Detective Lottie Parker Series ‘Chilling and compulsive, this darkly menacing tale is full of suspense that keeps on building – everything you want from a crime thriller.’ Marion Todd, author of the DI Clare Mackay Series ‘A dark visceral thriller where nobody and nothing is what it seems. Bugler has evoked a terrifying world where power over the most needy leads to the most shocking outcomes.’ Graham Bartlett, author of Force of Hate ‘Twisting and shocking. A sinister community, dangerous politics and a host of complex characters make this heart-thumping thriller a truly engrossing read.’ Heather Critchlow, author of Unsolved ‘The twists keep coming... The final resolution is so perfect it moved me to tears.’ Chris Curran, author of When the Lights go out ‘Wow! What a great book. I loved every moment of it. Just when I thought I had it all figured out (yet again) there was another twist.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘Black Valley Farm is a fascinating read, and the plot kept me turning the pages well into the night. I thought I figured it out, but the author weaved in some good twists that proved me wrong!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘A fresh new take on a thriller! I couldn’t put this one down and highly recommend it!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘Fantastic! I thought the plot was excellent, and there are a couple of twists in the story that you don’t expect.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘Completely mesmerising. I was hooked from the first page. You will think you have this figured out but it gets real twisty. Just fantastic.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review

Six-year-old Anna Pellowski’s older siblings, Jacob, Franciszek, Barney, Mary and Pauline are exposed to English at school, but only Polish is spoken at home. The younger children—Anna, Julian, Anton barely know a word of their new country’s language, but then neither do many of their neighbors. When the family goes to town to celebrate the 100th birthday of the United States, the speaker gives his speech in a mix of German, Polish, Bohemian and Norwegian! Some years before, in the mid 1800’s, Anna’s mother, father and brother Baby Jacob had come from Poland to live in a tiny sod house in Western Wisconsin and establish the very first farm in the entire Latsch Valley. Now the growing family lives in a real house, with neighbors on every side, and the world for quietly curious Anna is filled with fascinating possibilities—as well as lots of hard work. Sometimes she dreams of going back to the Poland she is always hearing about, but increasingly she realizes that life in Latsch Valley, with its rich cultural rhythm of work, play and religious faith, holds everything she could possibly want.
