House of Secrets

Once Lucy is employed at the Shayo residence, she is engulfed in the world of her employers; a couple that struggles to keep up appearances - Ben Shayo and Anna Nyambura.

When Mr. Shayo vanishes, Lucy is taken in for questioning
by detectives, John and Frank, who will stop at nothing to get answers.

Fearing for her and her family’s safety, she reveals key details that led up to Mr. Shayo's probable demise; a confession that could possibly help the detectives piece together the shocking truth.
