Hers or Mine

COULD YOUR SECRETS BE THE DEATH OF YOU?

To the neighbours, Lucy and Andy are an ordinary couple with good jobs and a quiet life. But they're hiding a dark secret. And it's tearing them apart.

Seven years ago, you took my life away. And I want it back.

Life as Andy's wife isn't what Lucy thought it would be. Andy has become obsessive. It's as if she's a prisoner. Their secret has turned Andy into a manipulative control freak, and Lucy stays in hiding, inside the house. Her business will fall apart if she doesn't do something, and she's mortified by Andy's serial philandering since their secret took hold of them in its vice-like grip. So, when a leaflet arrives for a hotel designed for struggling creatives, Lucy is desperate to persuade Andy that going there, for a break and to give her a chance to sort her head out, will make things better.

Andy has issues of his own: the temptation of an affair that he's trying to keep under control, Lucy's increasingly problematic behaviour, and the guilty knowledge of what he did seven years before. But when Lucy threatens to reveal their secret, he has no choice but to let her out of his sight. What harm can a few days do?

The time is coming. The plan is in place. And you'll be here soon.

But Andy begins to regret his decision. Letting Lucy go off alone might have been really stupid. Can she keep the secret safe? How dangerous is Lucy's behaviour? When Andy gets a disturbing phone call from his wife, he's determined to go and get her back.

But at the hotel everyone is hiding secrets and telling lies. Someone is playing a twisted game. And they have murder in mind.

No one knows you're here. No one knows who you really are. And no one will know if you disappear forever…

A twisty psychological suspense novel. It's game on – and it's about as personal as it gets.

When everyone is lying, who do you trust?
