An unimaginable crime has devastating consequences, twenty-one years on, in this thrilling novel by the rising star of crime fiction, Fiona Cummins.
When I Was Ten is the stay-up-all-night thriller by acclaimed crime author Fiona Cummins.
‘Grips like a vice’ – Val McDermid, author of the Karen Pirie series
‘Absorbing, tense and beautifully paced’ – Daily Mail
Twenty-one years ago, Dr Richard Carter and his wife Pamela were killed in what has become the most infamous double murder of the modern age.
Their ten year-old daughter – nicknamed the Angel of Death – spent eight years in a children’s secure unit and is living quietly under an assumed name with a family of her own.
Now, on the anniversary of the trial, a documentary team has tracked down her older sister, compelling her to break two decades of silence.
Her explosive interview sparks national headlines and journalist Brinley Booth, a childhood friend of the Carter sisters, is tasked with covering the news story.
For the first time, the three women are forced to confront what really happened that night – with devastating consequences for them all.
‘I finished it with my heart in my mouth. Highly recommended’ – Louise Candlish, author of Our House
‘Dark, creepy and ultimately compassionate’ – JP Delaney, author of The Girl Before
‘Utterly compelling; a true just-one-more-chapter thriller’ – Clare Mackintosh, author of The Last Party
