A chance meeting on a windswept English moor sparks an obsessive--and soon deadly--love affair between two lonely young women in this clever inversion of the Gothic classics, with a fresh spin that could only come from the award-winning author of A Haunting on the Hill.

It's the 1920s and the English countryside is quiet--which suits Olivia and Tamsin, two young women happy to be overlooked by society. Their relationship is complicated: unruly, working-class Tamsin was brought to Kerrith Manor to be tutored at Olivia's side, but the two quickly have found something more than friendship--a bone-deep recognition that ignites an endless passion.

But an unexpected visitor and an unexplained death disrupt their idyll, sending both women on the run. They find harbor at Ledges, the dazzling estate of ruthlessly wealthy and mysterious Rex de Voil--and a favorite hang-out for the bohemian bright young things eager to cut loose far from London's prying eyes. Olivia and Tamsin revel in their newfound freedom...until they learn that nothing in Rex's world is without cost.

Richly evoking a vibrant time in queer history, Unspeakable Things is a seductive historical thriller that explores the haunting bond between two women coming into their power even as it unspools their obsession to its deadly end.
