by Sabine Durrant
Gaby Mortimer is the woman who has it all. But everything changes when she finds a body on the common near her home. She's shaken and haunted by the image of the lifeless young woman, and frightened that the killer, still at large, could strike again.
Before long, the police have a lead. The evidence points to a very clear suspect. One Gaby never saw coming...
Full of twists and turns, this is a dark and suspenseful psychological thriller that will make you second-guess everything. Because you can never be too sure about anything, especially when it comes to murder.
"Starred Review. As the suspense mounts, Durrant skillfully keeps the twisty story on track through convincing characters and domestic detail - right up to the shocking conclusion." - Publishers Weekly
"A decent story and probably Durrant's best to date, but her decision not to explain the plethora of British references could prove a distraction to American readers." - Kirkus
