‘Impossible to put down’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Omg, omg, omg!!!!!... Spectacular’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Absolutely amazing’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I was hooked’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When Louise receives an invitation to her old friend Amy’s birthday weekend in a cottage next to the woods near their old college campus, a chill runs down her spine. Fifteen years ago, Hannah walked into those same woods and never came back. Her death destroyed her friends. They’ve not met as a group since. Until now. As the party gets underway, it becomes clear her friends knew more than Louise did about what happened to Hannah. The secret she knew that could ruin someone. The bad break-up. The threatening texts she'd been receiving. Perhaps it’s time for Louise to admit to herself that maybe someone wanted Hannah gone – and that maybe that’s why Amy has brought them all back together. When a game of truth or dare is proposed, the question arises: how far will someone go to keep their darkest secret buried? A gripping and addictive psychological thriller that will keep you turning the pages, for fans of Gillian Flynn, Teresa Driscoll and Ruth Ware.

The Leaving Party

I know what you did. You destroyed my life. Now I’m going to take everything from you, starting with your husband. I’m your worst nightmare, and I’m closer than you think. Moving to Prospect Close has been everything I’d hoped for. In the city, Oliver and I barely saw each other, irritable at home and rushing around after the kids. But here, the neighbours have been so friendly and welcoming, and we’re now at barbeques and playdates every weekend, all together, as a family. It’s the type of life I always dreamed of. One that’s a million miles from… before. Not that Oliver would know anything about that. But recently Oliver has been behaving strangely – staying out late, working weekends and absent even when home. I don’t want to question our idyllic life, but when I find a receipt for a hotel room, including champagne, in his coat pocket, what else can I assume other than he’s cheating? Or could it be even worse than that…? What if the past isn’t just haunting me, it’s coming back to destroy me? Because yesterday I received an anonymous note. One that changes everything. It seems that someone in Prospect Close knows my secret. Someone who’s willing to do whatever it takes to get their revenge, including stealing my husband. Unless I can find them first… An astonishing, compelling page-turner with a jaw-dropping twist, if you love Lisa Jewell, K. L. Slater and Jackie Kabler, you’ll love The Mistress Next Door.

The Mistress Next Door

Lie #1 was to my new friends, about why I moved here. Lie #2 was to my husband, about who I was before I met him. Lie #3 was to myself, that I would ever get away with what I’ve done. When I met Seb, it was like everything fell into place. My daughter Evie finally had a proper dad, and I had found the husband of my dreams. I was able to start the new life I had always wished for – and what Seb didn’t know about my past wouldn’t hurt him. But lately he’s been acting strangely around me. He won’t look me in the eye, he keeps coming home late after work and the other day at the school fair I saw him arguing with a strange woman – the same woman I’ve seen hanging around outside our house. And now I wonder whether I’m not the only one covering up lies in this family. Because if I’m not, then no one is safe. Not even my daughter.
