MY LOST SISTER
Twenty years ago someone stole my sister.
They say Leonie got into a man’s car. She was never seen again. It was the day before her fifteenth birthday.
But what if she was never taken? What if the truth is right here, all along, in the house where we grew up. The house I’ve come back to, trying to piece the past together.
A notification flashes on my phone. Photos on social media. I stare, chilled, at old pictures of my childhood home. Our front door, the gardens outside the window where I sit now. They’re tagged: #leonieshouse.
A shiver of unease runs down my spine.
Who knows?
What do they know?
I keep saying that I don’t remember.
But I do.
THE CORNISH DIARY
Livia Frost moves to the desolate beauty of the Cornish coast to take an intern job with an award winning architect. It’s the fresh start she desperately needs – if she’s ever going to forget what happened three years ago . . .
But Livia risks being drawn in to something far worse than the traumas of her own past. There’s a diary hidden in her room, darkly compulsive and full of parallels that are too close for comfort. And just as the writer is about to confess a chilling secret, the diary stops, the rest of its pages ripped out.
There are secrets at Trethallyan, too. Lies. Infatuations. And an intern, before Livia, who no one wants to talk about. . .
Was it really chance that brought Livia to Porthtrevelen? Who wrote the diary? What happened to her?
And will finding out spell Livia’s destruction?
THE NANNY
. . . an absolutely breathtaking psychological thriller with a stunning final twist
India McKenzie lost her mother far too young. And now she’s lost her best friend, too.
She needs to escape, so she takes a job with a wealthy family.
They live in an isolated old manor house in the Derbyshire countryside. There’s never anyone around.
The parents are not exactly warm. It’s all piano practice and scheduling playdates.
Seven-year-old Alicia can be difficult sometimes, but really she’s just a sweet little girl who’s lonely. She needs a friend — not just a nanny.
Everyone says the grown-up son is dangerous. But India can’t help being drawn to him . . .
And there’s something no one talks about. A secret that this family will do anything to keep.
India became a nanny to finally find a family to call her own. Now that she’s found them — will they destroy her?
. . . She’s part of their family now.
This utterly gripping psychological suspense with a twist that will take your breath away is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, Claire McGowan, K.L. Slater, Valerie Keogh and Liane Moriarty.
