Childhood Sweetheart

‘Wow, wow, wow!... My favourite book I've read this year!... From the beginning to the very end I was hooked!... It's brilliant. So many twists!... Utterly incredible... I couldn't put this book down!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Bang. Bang. Bang. I jump as the knocks on the window crash above the roaring wind outside. Who could it be, at this late hour? I open the curtains and peer outside. "Hello?" But the dark, the rain and the empty lane are all I see.


I thought I’d love him forever.


Eleven years ago my tiny Scottish island home was torn apart. One stormy summer night, my best friend Jonah’s brother fell into the loch and never came back. We tried, but I think Jonah’s grief was just too much, and he left.


But I should never have trusted him.


Now he’s back. Jonah still looks like the boy I loved, even if his dark hair shows a few strands of grey. Part of me longs to reach out to him again, but then he says something that sends a shiver down my spine.


And I have nowhere to hide.


After all these years, I see our childhood secrets, the ones we swore never to reveal, in a terrifying light. Could Jonah’s secrets have been worth killing for? And how safe am I now, on this remote island, with the man I used to love…?



A totally addictive and twisty psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Housemaid won’t be able to put Childhood Sweetheart down!
