Virginia Lane is Not a Hero
Um þessa hljóðbók
Praise for Rosalind Stopps:
‘A tense page-turning thriller . . . powerful’ The Times
‘There are shades of Kate Atkinson in the way Rosalind balances dark themes with dry humour, a great plot, exquisitely realised characters, and more than a hint of feminist sensibility’ Jessica Moor, bestselling author of Keeper
‘Guaranteed to hook you . . . both touching and darkly funny’ Anna Bailey, Sunday Times bestselling author of Tall Bones

Ever since her beloved Jed died, all Virginia wants is to be left alone. But the little girl who lives down the street is so sweet, that even in her grief-fuelled state Virginia’s heart softens whenever she sees her.
And that’s why Virginia knows there’s something wrong in the little girl’s house. So when the mother asks Virginia to take her child far away, somewhere safe, Virginia says yes.
The last thing Virginia would call herself is a hero. She’s just doing what anyone else would do, right? But when she realises how much danger the child is in, she knows she needs to do everything she can to keep her safe . . . Because sometimes it’s the most ordinary people who do the most extraordinary things.
