Description

Everyone deserves a second chance. After a car accident killed her husband and left her permanently scarred, Kat Alexander, a wealthy widow, starts a new life in the countryside. Mourning not only her husband but her last chance of motherhood, Kat is completely lost. Until she meets Ginny, who runs the local animal sanctuary and offers Kat a lifeline. The two become inseparable and Ginny encourages Kat to join the local branch of Young and Widowed, dubbed the Coffin Club by its members. There she meets Nico, a young Spanish widower with a five-year-old daughter Magdalena 'Midge'. Nico is gorgeous good-looking, kind, caring and wants to settle in the UK permanently. Kat would do anything to be a mother and Nico can offer her just that. Marriage seems like the perfect option but how well do they really know each other

A riveting, deeply disquieting thriller. Original, seamlessly put together and an experience you will never emotionally recover from.

-- Sarah Goodwin, author of Stranded

This is a spine-tingling, unputdownable page-turner, and a remarkable debut. I was gripped the whole way through.

-- Lucy Martin, author of Stop at Nothing

A dark and gripping debut with sinister undertones from the very first page. I loved it.

-- Sophie Flynn, author of All My Lies

A psychological thriller that spins around a couple of modern themes, touching on mental health and even migration and Brexit. The characters are plausible and intriguing and the reveals are clever and satisfying.

-- CrimeTime

A perfect romantic-noir a crime story wrapped up in a love story. The characters draw you in to their world and make you root for them, until a creeping sense of dread make you cower as you wonder where the fatal blow is going to come from. Well-crafted and chilling!

Brilliantly addictive psychological thriller...Twisty, dark, definitely unputdownable. A fantastic debut!

The minute I started it I was absolutely hooked This is a terrific debut and I for one cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next. Its an absolute 5 * read without a doubt if I could give it more I would.

-- Jackie's Reading Corner

It is a testimony to the writers skill that one becomes lost in the emotion and pathos of the story to such an extent that it is easy to forget that the novel consists entirely of a monologue Agreat debut novel that explores love, loss, friendship, motherhood and betrayal. It is engrossing throughout and ends with a shocking and unexpected twist. Enjoyable and highly recommended.
