MY SWEET AUDRINA

The house in the wood was picturesque and charming. The family who lived there were happy and affluent. So what was the secret of the room - empty of everything but the rocking chair?

Audrina wanted to be as good as her sister. Audrina knew her parents could not love her as they loved her sister. Her sister was perfect, much loved - and dead.

But how did she die? Who was Audrina and who did she have to become? What was the secret that everyone knew? Everyone except sweet Audrina...

The haunting story of love and deceit, innocence and betrayal, and terrible family secrets.

Praise for Virginia Andrews:

'Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty... it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. ... What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child's eyes' Daily Express

'Makes horror irresistible' Glasgow Sunday Mail

'A gruesome saga... the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down' Ms London

'There is strength in her books - the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped' The Times
