**************

What she can't see can hurt her

I have this dream.

In it, I'm in the house and it's dark and I know someone's in there with me

Even though I can't see them . . .

For Sarah and Patrick, family life has always been easy. But when Sarah's mother dies, it sends Sarah into a downwards spiral. Knowing they need a fresh start, Patrick moves the family to the beachside house he grew up in.

But there is a catch: while their new home carries only happy memories for Patrick, to everyone else it's known as the Murder House - named for the family that was killed there.

Patrick is adamant they can make it perfect again, though with their children plagued by nightmares and a constant sense they're being watched, Sarah's not so sure.

Because the longer they live in their 'dream home', the more different her loving husband becomes . . .

A chilling psychological thriller about dark family dysfunction and the secrets that haunt us, THE WOMAN IN THE DARK will captivate fans of B. A Paris, Clare Mackintosh and Stephen King's THE SHINING.
