Description

I cannot go on like this. I feel such a burden to you. You are young and can start again. You deserve that chance. By the time you read this I will be dead. Do not grieve for me, for I am now without pain.

Yours truly for ever,

Monica

Monica suffers from chronic neuropathic pain. Every second of her life is spent in agony, and she is coping with it the best she can. However, there are whole years of her life which are a blur to her.

But when she finds a suicide note, written in her handwriting, she begins to question everything. She has no memory of writing it - so who did And if someone tried to kill her once, what's to say they won't try again...

A read-in-one-sitting edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, I Let You Go and Before I Go To Sleep.

Reviews

Terrific, engaging, brand new. The twist, which I didn't see coming, is perfectly set up. In fact, it was forehead-smackingly clever. Monica will stay with me for ever. - Steven Moffat

NJ Fountain has produced a beautifully written thriller that manages to be both devious and compulsive. - Ben Aaronovich
