Description

'Macabre and frightening' PAULA HAWKINS
'Twisted, exhilarating and very, very creepy' LOUISE CANDLISH
'Will keep you reading well into the night and awake well beyond that' CATHERINE COOPER

1978
. Mrs. Medlock is the dutiful housekeeper at Marwood Manor. One of the few remaining staff, she protects a dying aristocratic order, serving the Lord and Lady and caring for their sickly young son.

For over the past twenty years, Mrs. Medlock has become the keeper of secrets. Secrets of the family. Secrets of her own. Secrets that may be found in the manor's walled garden, out of sight but not forgotten.

When a distant relative, Mary, arrives at the property in need of a place to live and with a determination to explore, Mrs. Medlock fears the secrets of Marwood are no longer safe. And digging up the past may have deadly consequences for them all . . .

Reviews
Macabre and frightening, S. G. Hartnell's shocking retelling of the children's classic The Secret Garden will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page until the last -- PAULA HAWKINS
If you grew up on The Secret Garden, park your nostalgia and prepare for a seriously hair-raising revisit. Twisted, exhilarating and very, very creepy, Medlock is a triumph. I raced through it -- LOUISE CANDLISH
S. G. Hartnell's update of The Secret Garden brings a stylish contemporary twist to a much-loved classic. A thoughtful and engaging read -- JOHN BOYNE
The Secret Garden but not as you know it. Sinister, mysterious, twisty and pulling out all the Gothic stops, this had me hooked from the start to the unexpected and terrifying end -- CARLY REAGON
A deliciously dark, Gothic mystery. Kept me up beyond my bedtime! -- JANE CORRY
This bold reimagining of The Secret Garden is a darkly perfect slice of contemporary gothic. It takes the bones of a classic and rebuilds them into something entirely wild and horrifying and new, tightening the screws on the reader at every turn. I can't wait to see what S. G. Hartnell's imagination conjures next . . . -- ALEX HAY
A gothic reimagining of The Secret Garden to keep you reading well into the night and awake well beyond that - dark, scary and unexpected -- CATHERINE COOPER
A beautifully written tale of good and evil. Restless, relatable and utterly absorbing. Just make sure you read it with all the lights on -- MARION TODD
A spine-chilling, nerve-jangling web of secrets and illusions. S.G. Hartnell's Medlock is a thing of beauty, draped in darkness. Breathtaking -- HELEN FIELDS
A dark, sinister, cleverly constructed tale, disturbingly gripping and not for the faint hearted. Hartnell is a shining new talent in the Gothic horror genre -- A. A. CHAUDHURI

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
