From the acclaimed author of The Blue Book of Nebo comes a heartbreaking journey into a small town’s grief when their beloved golden girl is found murdered.

Greta Pugh is dead.

The small village of Bethesda, north Wales, is no stranger to tragedy. Once a thriving, prosperous community, the town has been marred by an ever-deepening class divide. But now, with rich and popular Greta Pugh found murdered in the local quarry, everyone in Bethesda is rattled, and all their secrets are at risk.

No one is more aware of this than Greta’s friends, especially Shane, a classmate and the son of the Pughs’ cleaner. Everyone knows more than they’re letting on, but when the police and the media descend with all their probing questions, there’s soon nowhere left to hide.

A consummately plotted murder mystery and a compelling exploration of the contemporary pressures on young people, Greta is infused with the sensitivity and generosity of spirit that defines Steffan Ros’ writing. It is a book that offers a unique insight into places and people so often overlooked – until it’s too late.

The original Welsh language version of this book, Llechi, was shortlisted in the 2021 Tir na nOg Children’s Fiction Awards.
