About this ebook

New house. Fresh start. Same husband. Can you paint over the cracks in a marriage?

‘Felicity has the reader gripped when she explores unhealthy relationships based on insecurity and delusion. She writes with a raw realism’ Adele Parks, Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author, in Platinum

Karen has packed up her life and is making The Move. She’s on her way to the idyllic country cottage which her husband has painstakingly renovated for her. They’re escaping the London bustle and the daily grind. And they’re escaping their past.

A fresh start in a beautiful, peaceful village. It will be different here, right?

But something is awry. The landscape, breathtaking by day, is eerie by night. The longed-for peace and solitude is stifling. And the house, so artfully put together by her husband, has a strange vibe. Now that Karen is cut off from her old friends and family, she can’t help wondering if her husband has plans of his own, and that history might be repeating itself.

From the author of the bestselling The People at Number 9 comes a dark and redemptive tale of a rural dream gone wrong...

Oooh, I liked this one! Full of intrigue and possibilities, right to the very end! Karen is joining her husband at their new home in the country; they are leaving London for good and he has completely renovated the house ready for her arrival. Nick is certain this is going to get their marriage back on track, Karen not quite so much. Things are certainly different - but does different automatically mean better? Well, here's a story to get lost in! There are a myriad of small happenings to engross and confuse and my sympathies changed often - well, at least to start with. I spent much of this novel in awe of the wonderful characterisation and can only imagine the many hours spent perfecting this novel to make it the stunning read that it is. It has certainly brought the author to my attention and added her name to my 'must not miss' list! A marvellous psychological thriller, with an ending I thoroughly approve of, and one to grip your attention and undoubtedly worth all five sparkling stars.
