About this ebook

She made her bed. You’ll lie in it.

 

Rebecca only wanted to help out – to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone to rely on.

 

But now she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving step-daughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.

 

And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?

 

The book everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the TrainThe Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty page-turning psychological thriller.

Rebecca attends Nicole's funeral. Nicole had married Richard, her second husband. According to the emails and texts to her best friend, Rebecca, she was in 7th heaven. But then the tone of the notes changed. And then Nicole commits suicide by drowning ... or did she? Rebecca just can't believe Nicole would have done that. She consoled the grieving widow, but things just don't look right. The house was immaculate ...anyone who knew Nicole knew that her life was oil paintings .. not mopping floors. Even her mot recent art work had changed..drastically. What in the world happened to Nicole? Rebecca wants to investigate and she starts hearing stories that make her wonder. Told in different voices from different viewpoints, Nicole's story is revealed bit by bit. Was she seeing the truth or was it all in her head? Rebecca's story is told in the present. There are also snippets from Richard and from his adult daughter. Olivia. Lots of twists and turns keep the reader involved and riveted to this well-written page turner. The story premise is fully thought it ... with characters that are unforgettable. The ending was quite a surprise. Many thanks to the author / Bookouture / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
