The unputdownable new thriller from Mandy Byatt that will leave you reeling after the final twist
She knows him better than anyone.
She doesnt know him at all
Lottie and Nick once had a dream marriage, but a series of failed IVF attempts has left Lottie feeling insecure, and her paranoia is further stoked by the arrival of a new starter at Nicks firm. Tasha is the spitting image of a younger, more attractive Lottie, and Nick is paying her a lot of attention
But then Lottie discovers shes pregnant. A surprise getaway to their country cottage to celebrate Nicks birthday will provide the perfect backdrop to give him the news and start to heal the rifts in their relationship.
Then, on the eve of Nicks birthday, Lottie goes into the cellar, and what she finds makes her question everything.
Because there, in the corner of the cellar, is the body of a young woman.
A young woman who looks just like Lottie
A gripping, suspenseful thriller with a killer twist you wont see coming! Perfect for fans of Adele Parks and Liane Moriarty.
