Beschreibungen
AN IMMERSIVE, DEEPLY AFFECTING NOVEL ABOUT COERCIVE CONTROL AND SURVIVAL THAT TURNS ON A KNIFE EDGE – THE PERFECT LITERARY SUSPENSE FOR FANS OF LULLABY, MY ABSOLUTE DARLING AND PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN
Sandrine knows she is unlovable. So when Monsieur Langlois makes space for her in his heart and in his home, she feels certain she has found someone to hold on to.
When his first wife shows up one day with accusations of abuse, she ignores them. Just as she ignores the way he's starting to look at her, and the way she always feels like she is walking on eggshells. But the atmosphere is starting to suffocate her – and soon Sandrine realises that she desperately needs to find a way out.
'Has the power of a psychic haunting, lingering long in the mind' Lisa Harding
'Brilliant' Anna Bailey
'At once both difficult to look at and away from' Christine Mangan
'Terribly sharp' Marie Claire France
'Brutal and brilliant' Jessica Moor
READERS LOVE THE SECOND WOMAN
'This book is immensely dark, enthralling and riveting. Sandrine is not a reliable narrator... and allows the novel to creep up on you, gradually holding you in its grip... This story will not leave you for a long time' *****
'Creepy, paranoid, dark, compelling and very moving' *****
'The Second Woman is absolutely phenomenal. A chilling, intense thriller, which circles around domestic abuse and controlling relationships'
'This novel had me gripped from the very first page and I couldn't put it down, losing sleep to try and finish it... It was unpredictable and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat'
'It was definitely a five-star knock-out...'
