*** PRE-ORDER THE NEW CAUTIONARY TALE OF OBSESSION, LOVE, JEALOUSY AND DECEPTION FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE AND THE OTHER PASSENGER *** There's the obvious story. And then there's the truth. Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he's not the most extrovert guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he's a good husband and an easy-going neighbour. That's until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that's been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he's always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . . As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alex's twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil. And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed. It still isn't.Praise for Louise Candlish: I inhaled it Lisa Jewell I couldnt put it down Shari Lapena A stunning masterwork of style and suspense Jeffery Deaver Tense, provocative and devastatingly powerful T. M. Logan Louise Candlish knows exactly how to deliver the twists you didn't even know you were expecting. Took me straight back to the heady days of 1995 - brilliant stuff Harriet Tyce Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended Sarah Vaughan Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down . . . this is an author at the top of her game Erin Kelly ';A twisting, seductive, ingenious thriller from the consistently brilliant Louise Candlish. I'm a huge fan Chris Whitaker The Only Suspectkept me guessing all the way through. It's the book version of a Rubiks Cube with so many unexpected twists and turns. An adrenaline burner for sure! Liz Nugent As good as I hoped it would be. Messy relationships, deception and some big surprises. Loved it! Jane Fallon ';WOW. As always Louise Candlish has written a taut, unsettling, compulsive and ingenious novel with gasp-out-loud twists and fatally flawed characters forced into tragedy by circumstances. I LOVED it!' Isabelle Broom I was sucked in from the beginning, hooked and hoodwinked. A masterclass in psychological thriller writing Diane Jeffrey I couldnt put it down! Fantastic characters, a trip down memory lane into 90s London and I honestly didnt see that ending coming AT ALL. Deliciously dark and devastating Nikki Smith ';A compelling, nerve-tingling treat' Nicci French ';Tense, taut and twisty. Candlish is a master of her craft' Adele Parks ';Incredibly tense. Louise Candlish is one of my favourite writers and this is her best book yet' Clare Mackintosh ';Such a vivid sense of place, a gripping plot, elegantly told, and a twist that left me reeling brilliant!'
