The Missing Wife

You think you know those closest to you. You are wrong…

A sleep-deprived new mother approaching her fortieth birthday, the very last thing Louisa wants to do is celebrate.

But when her friend Tiff organises a surprise party, inviting the entire list of Louisa’s Facebook friends, Louisa is faced with a room full of people she hasn’t spoken to in years – including someone she never expected to see again: her ex-boyfriend, Oliver Dunmore.
 
When Oliver’s wife Melissa goes missing after the party, everyone remembers the night differently. Someone knows what happened to Melissa, and Louisa is determined to find them. But the truth could be closer, and the deception more devastating, than she’d ever imagined…

A gripping psychological suspense novel, perfect for fans of My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing, The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena, The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn, and The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen.

• Author is a former prison officer so has extensive knowledge of the prison system and insight into the minds of criminals.

• This is quality suspense with two fantastic characters at its heart:
– In Louisa we have the perfect protagonist for a domestic thriller: a frazzled new mother with a history of mental illness. A deliciously unreliable narrator, we doubt her just as much as she doubts herself.
– And in Oliver we have the perfect villain. His mask of selflessness and devotion soon slips, revealing a malicious gaslighter that will go to any length to prove his innocence. But even he is in for a shock when the past catches up with him…
