The Empty Nest: An unputdownably gripping psychological thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838880422)

'Sometimes we can't see what's right in front of us, Kat. Everyone has secrets, even the people we love, the people we live with...'

Kat remembers the days when her only daughter Amy wouldn't leave her side. Amy was the baby who cried when you walked out of the room, the toddler who was too shy to speak to strangers, the small child who clung to Kat's legs in the school playground.

But now Amy is grown up, and Amy is gone - to university in a town several hours away. Kat's house - which once felt too full, too noisy, too busy - is deathly quiet, and Kat awaits the daily phone call to tell her that her beloved daughter is thriving and happy.

Until the day Amy doesn't call, sending Kat into a panic. Her husband and friends say she's being paranoid - surely Amy is just out, having fun? But Kat feels sure something is very wrong - she knows her daughter, and she would never just disappear.

As the hours turn into days, her fears are confirmed: Amy is missing. But there are secrets about her daughter that Kat doesn't know about yet. And the truth about Amy's whereabouts may be closer to home than Kat could ever imagine...

A gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Girl Before and Gone Girl will be gripped by this unputdownable story about a mother's obsessive love for her child.
