Stunning debut psychological thriller in the vein of Into the Darkest Corner and Sister.
A lingering, compulsive debut novel that will keep you tightly in its grip. What would you do if a young girl knocked on your door and asked for your help? If it was snowing and she was freezing cold, but you were afraid and alone? What would you do if you let her in, but couldn'’t make her leave? What if she told you terrible lies about someone you love, but the truth was even worse? Stella has been cocooned in her home for three years. Severely agoraphobic, she knows she is safe in the stark, isolated house she shares with her husband, Max. The traumatic memories of her final case as a psychologist are that much easier to keep at a distance, too. But the night that Blue arrives on her doorstep with her frightened eyes and sad stories, Stella’'s carefully controlled world begins to unravel around her.

Review:
"A frighteningly tense debut novel. The skin-crawling intimacy sets this thriller apart. The tension is almost suffocating, with a palpable feeling of dread leaping off every page. A searing debut...and not to be missed." Daily Mail "A beautiful read, brimming with intrigue and suspense... It's an incredibly accomplished debut, a real heart-racing chiller, and I genuinely didn't want it to end!" Samantha Hayes, author of Until You're Mine "This is a wonderfully tense story, full of characters who may or may not be telling the truth. Compellingly, creepy - not one to read while home alone." Glamour "A stunning debut psychological thriller." Sun "A tense, claustrophobic, and deeply unsettling novel about the damage a disturbed teenager threatens to wreak on one woman's life." Penny Hancock, author of Tideline, a Richard & Judy selection
