Have you been bad enough?

When her stepmother dies unexpectedly, Caro returns to her childhood home in Derbyshire. She hadn't seen Elizabeth in years, but the remote farmhouse offers refuge from a bad relationship, and a chance to start again.

But going through Elizabeth's belongings unearths memories Caro would rather stay buried. In particular, the story her stepmother would tell her, about two little girls and the terrible thing they do.

As heavy snow traps Caro in the village, where her neighbours stare and whisper, Caro is forced to question why Elizabeth hated her so much, and what she was hiding. But does she really want to uncover the truth?

A haunting and twisty story about the lies we tell those closest to us, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Cass Green.

Just so so okay... not too stylish but is functional, priced a bit high for basic backpack
Color: Black, Size: 15.6 Inch
This is simply a basic backpack that is comparable to below $30 laptop backpacks out there, the only thing really that is stylish design in regard to color is the inside fabric color. I've gotten my wife other laptop bags that actually have more style on the outside and yet cost less. Very very basic packpack, just a tad bit overpriced. It actually looks like a middle school backpack if you think about it's plain design and those you can find under $25, the laptop compartment is just 20% better than than school backpacks.

Durable Material & Lots of Pockets
Color: Black, Size: 15.6 Inch
This backpack is perfect for going to work or going on a trip. The several compartments within each section of the backpack make it super easy to keep things organized and separated. What I like: * Pockets & Compartments - With 3 main compartments, each with additional pockets and zippered sections within, a front pocket, and two water bottle pockets on the sides, this backpack is definitely not lacking when it comes to organization and space. It is extremely spacious and has more pockets inside each section than I would have imagined. There's a place for everything - big and small! * Material - The water-resistant material has a nice matte finish and resists water. It is durable and feels like it will hold up well with regular use. The zipper pulls are some of the best quality I've seen for a bag at this price point. They don't feel cheap or like they're going to come off after regular use. * Comfort & Convenience - The shoulder straps have a decent amount of padding without being bulky, making the backpack feel more elevated than a typical school backpack. I LOVE the strap across the back of the bag. It makes traveling and moving through the airport a breeze - just slide the strap over your suitcase handle and you don't have to carry the backpack on your back. What could use improvement: * Interior Color - The only complaint I have about this backpack is that the listing says the interior color is tan and the color in the image is a light tan ... but the actual color is a gold color, which is not my style or taste. Despite the discrepancy in the interior color, this backpack is a great option for a variety of uses, and the quality and durability make it a great option for everyday use as well as when you're traveling.
