The Woman on the Ledge: A Novel

"The Woman on the Ledge blew me away like The Girl on the Train blew me away nearly ten years ago. Compulsive, clever and gasp out loud twisty, I absolute loved it." — Lisa Jewell, author of None of This Is True

Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge. Whose secrets are you keeping? And why?

A woman falls to her death from a London bank’s twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace.

You tell the police that you had only met the victim the previous night at your office party. She was threatening to jump down from the roof, but you had talked her down.

You've got nothing to do with this tragedy. You're clearly being framed.

So why do the police keep picking holes in your story? Even your lawyer doesn't seem to believe you.

It soon becomes obvious that you're keeping secrets.

But who are you trying to protect? And why?

Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge.
