The Burial Plot

London, 1839. With the cemeteries full and money to be made in death, tricksters Crawford and Bonnie survive on wicked schemes and ill-gotten coin. But one blistering evening, their fortunes flip. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnie\'s feet and now she needs to disappear.



Crawford secures her a position as lady\'s maid in a grand house on the Thames. As Bonnie comes to understand the family - the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself - she begins to question what secrets are lying behind the house\'s paper-thin walls and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.



Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet . . .
