He gave her everything. But can she trust him?

'Get ready for a creepy, twisty ride' Heat

Lauren can't wait to leave London for a fresh start in the countryside with her new partner Paul and his two young children.

She never thought she'd be so lucky. A dream glass house in the woods, a ready-made family, a second chance. But as dark rumours swirl about their new home, Lauren begins to question their happily-ever-after. When they met, she was at her most vulnerable. She would trust Paul with her life. But should she?

What She Left Behind is the perfect domestic thriller, truly gripping and shimmering with a dark undertone. My heart was in my mouth as I raced to the end. Mind-blowing and utterly compelling * Vikki Patis *
A claustrophobic and very clever domestic noir thriller with a great sense of setting, believable characters and an excellent twist - I raced through this * Catherine Cooper *

“A killer thriller!”

I couldn't put this down. Brilliant, believable characters - including one or two I really wouldn't want to meet on a dark night - fantastic, punchy writing and a proper gut punch of a twist. Bravo, Emily... More
