Fabulous new suspense novel from the author of best selling novels, The Fake Date and House of Secrets.
Should some secrets stay buried?
For as long as Cassie Hunt can remember her Aunt Aggie has spoken about the forgotten world that exists just below their feet, in the tunnels and catacombs of the Sand House. The story is what inspired Cassie to become an archaeologist.
But Aggie has a secret that she’s buried as deep as the tunnels and when excavation work begins on the site, Cassie is the only one who can help her keep it. With the assistance of her old university friend, Noah Flanagan, she puts into action a plan to honour Aggie’s wishes.
It seems the deeper Noah and Cassie dig, the more shocking the secrets uncovered – and danger is never far away, both above and below the ground …

Our Review
Wow! What a book!
I’ve enjoyed all of Lynda Stacey’s books so far but I have to say this one is the best yet.
A combination of intrigue, suspense, love and danger makes this a perfect read. My heart was literally in my mouth for the majority of the story.Cassie is an archaeologist, inspired by her aunt Aggie who adopted her and her sister after they lost their parents. The love between Cassie and her aunt and sister was so strong it was almost tangible and Cassie would do anything she could to help fulfil her Auntie’s dying wish.
The story was set amongst the sand house and catacombs in Doncaster which really exist and I think that Lynda has created an amazing story in a fascinating and very special real life place.
The love interest was the very hunky Noah who sounded absolutely gorgeous and I thoroughly enjoyed their relationship growing from the friendship they had at Uni. The creepy character in the book made my skin crawl and the description of his intimidation meant I could practically feel him, breathing down my neck.
Lynda is fantastic at building suspense and this book was brimming with it on every page. She has cleverly interwoven a brilliant plot with historical facts. I really couldn’t read this book fast enough and couldn’t put it down. I think this would make a fantastic film which along with the book would make a brilliant tribute to the mysterious Sand house especially as it has now been filled in for ever.

About the Author
Lynda grew up in the mining village of Bentley, Doncaster, in South Yorkshire and went to both Bentley New Village School, and Don Valley High School.
She is currently the Sales Director of a stationery, office supplies and office furniture company in Doncaster, where she has worked for the past 25 years. Prior to this she'd also been a nurse, a model, an emergency first response instructor and a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor ... and yes, she was crazy enough to dive in the sea with sharks, without a cage.
Following a car accident in 2008, Lynda was left with limited mobility in her right arm. Unable to dive or teach anymore, she turned to her love of writing, a hobby she'd followed avidly since being a teenager.
Her own life story, along with varied career choices helps Lynda to create stories of romantic suspense, with challenging and unpredictable plots, along with (as in all romances) very happy endings.
Lynda joined the Romantic Novelist Association in 2014 under the umbrella of the New Writers Scheme and in 2015, her debut novel House of Secrets won the Choc Lit Search for a Star competition.
She lives in a small rural hamlet near Doncaster, with her 'hero at home husband', Haydn, whom she's been happily married to for over 20 years.
