For fans of PINE, THE LONEY and the twists and turns of BEHIND HER EYES, Rose McDonagh's Scotland-set debut novel ONE CAME BACK is a beautifully written and gorgeously tense. It unites the chill of the modern gothic with the hook of a thriller to explore the depths of loss, memory, mental health, grief and obsession.
