About The Book
Rebecca didn’t know love was possible until she met Paul, a man with a past as dark as her own. Their demons drew them together, but twenty years later, the damage and secrets that ignited their love begin to consume their marriage.
When Paul catches the attention of the police after two women go missing, Rebecca discovers his elaborate plot to build a new life without her. And though Rebecca is quickly spiralling out of control, it doesn’t stop her from coming up with her own devastating plan for revenge… they made a promise to each other, afterall.
Til death do us part.
This book was BRILLIANT!
Paul and Rebecca dance a deadly tango as their lives fall apart and as you read, you wonder were they ever in love in the first place, or was their entire relationship constructed around a fantasy?
Both survivors of tragedies, they meet whilst Paul was married so I get the impression that Rebecca did not 100% trust him. Her spiral into prescription drug addiciton through her job seemed to me to be a deliberate blurring of the lines, a blocking out of reality. Paul has thrown himself into his job but his infidelities mirror his declining prospects-and when he hits rock bottom, there is no where else he can go. And there is nothing more dealy than a cornered amimal…
The plot is skilfully constructed with layer upon layer of artifice and lies that are stripped back, yet, as each discovery is revealed, another mystery takes its place.
I can see why it has been optioned for a television series as it would be perfect for a serialisation!
Many thanks to Trapeze Books, Orion Books and Tracy Fenton for the opportunity to be part of promoting this wonderful thriller.

I really can’t figure out who bought the house in the prologue. It’s driving me crazy
I know what you mean- I thought it was the wife? But it really plays with your mind! You get to the end and want to start again!
