Publisher Description
She thinks it was murder.
But if she can’t trust herself, how can anyone else?
For a brief moment, Nancy North wasn’t fine. A psychotic break tore her away from her restaurant, her friends, and her own cosy London flat. But now, sticking to her breathing exercises and doctor-prescribed help, Nancy North is fine. Her new flat, her new neighbours, and her boyfriend’s hovering concern aren’t exactly helping, but she’s keeping it together as well as can be expected.
Until the suicide of her downstairs neighbour, Kira. Nancy is convinced there’s more to Kira’s death than has been discovered. But all everyone else sees, including the police, is a vulnerable young woman with a history of experiencing things that aren’t necessarily there.
Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Maud O’Connor has her own misgivings about Kira’s death. Maud knows what it’s like to be dismissed as an overemotional woman and isn’t so quick to discount Nancy’s claims. As tensions reach an explosive breaking point, the line between fact and delusion becomes dangerously blurred, but Maud to determined to help bring the truth to light.
From international bestselling master of suspense Nicci French comes a chilling new psychological thriller about a woman determined to get justice for a murder no one else believes happened.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Last seen cracking a tricky case in Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?, Detective Inspector Maud O’Connor has certainly earned herself a second outing. But she’s not the central focus here: that would be Nancy North, who is trying to rebuild after life-altering mental health challenges. With her partner by her side and a fresh start in a new flat, Nancy is on the upswing, until she begins falling prey to all-too-familiar symptoms. When her downstairs neighbour turns up dead after apparently taking her own life, Nancy is convinced there’s more to the story. Enter DI O’Connor, who might just be the only person who believes this potential witness. The veteran writing team of Nicci Gerrard and Sean French know exactly how to layer potent psychological themes and threats, and The Last Days of Kira Mullan could work just as well as a standalone read.
