One quiet Christmas Eve. One brutal murder. One shattering secret.
Midnight Mass should be a time of peace and reflection. But for Reverend Steve Rainforth, it becomes the start of a nightmare. Moments after the congregation drifts home and the church doors are locked, he stumbles across the body of a young woman, Lucie Barker, crumpled among the gravestones, bloodied and lifeless.
The shock deepens when Steve learns Lucie was his daughter—conceived decades earlier with his teenage sweetheart, Angela, and raised under another man’s name. As detectives France and Jessop dig deeper, secrets begin to spill: a broken marriage, a monstrous betrayal, a father’s guilt.
Then Steve’s wife, Jenna, vanishes leaving behind a confession that will tear what’s left of his world apart…
Twisted, haunting, and utterly unforgettable, Silent Night is a Christmas crime novel like no other—perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Jane Casey and Ann Cleeves.
