Description

Pulled into a deadly game of deception, secrets, and lies, a woman must find the truth in order to defeat a mysterious opponent, protect her daughter, and save her own life in this dazzling standalone psychological thriller with an unforgettable ending from the New York Times bestselling author of Woman with a Secret and The Monogram Murders.

You thought you knew who you were. A stranger knows better.

You've left the city—and the career that nearly destroyed you—for a fresh start on the coast. But trouble begins when your daughter withdraws, after her new best friend, George, is unfairly expelled from school.

You beg the principal to reconsider, only to be told that George hasn't been expelled. Because there is, and was, no George.

Who is lying? Who is real? Who is in danger? Who is in control? As you search for answers, the anonymous calls begin—a stranger, who insists that you and she share a traumatic past and a guilty secret. And then the caller threatens your life. . . .

This is Justine's story. This is Justine's family. This is Justine's game. But it could be yours.

        Praise for Woman with a Secret: "No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah. I just love her dry, edgy wit and the way she brings her weirdly wonderful characters to life. Woman With a Secret is unpredictable, unputdownable, and unlike anything you've read before." — Liane Moriarty on Woman With a Secret

        "Mesmerizing! Sophie Hannah puts the 'psycho' in psychological suspense with this riveting thriller involving the ultimate closed-door crime scene—and a narrator who is both more and less than what she seems." — Lisa Gardner on Woman With a Secret

        "Like watching a nightmare come to life." — Tana French

        Praise for The Monogram Murders: "I was thrilled." — Gillian Flynn on The Monogram Murders

        February 29, 2016
        Former TV producer Justine Merrison, the narrator of this confusing standalone from Hannah (Woman with a Secret), leaves London for Devon, where she vows that doing nothing will be her new occupation. Justine���s opera singer husband, Alex, and their 14-year-old daughter, Ellen, settle in with her at Speedwell House. Trouble starts when Justine receives the first in a series of increasingly threatening phone calls from an anonymous woman, who purports to know something unsavory in her past. Meanwhile, Ellen is furiously writing a mystery story for school about the murderous Ingrey family, who live in a house suspiciously reminiscent of Speedwell. Justine worries about the tale���s grisly content, but she���s distracted by news from school that Ellen���s new best friend, George Donbavand, has been unfairly expelled. Later, the school authorities inform Justine that George doesn���t exist. In the first in a series of implausible plot twists, Justine discovers potential links between the mysterious Donbavand family and Ellen���s story. So much is going on that even dedicated readers will struggle to make sense of it all.

        Justine Merrison, a former TV executive, along with her 14-year-old daughter, Ellen, and successful opera singer husband, Alex, move from London to the South Devon countryside. Justine, determined to recover from a hectic career that ended on a sour note, wants to leave it all behind and do "nothing." The family successfully settles in until Justine receives a series of seemingly crank phone calls from a woman with a lisp. With each call, though, it becomes clearer that the caller knows too much about Justine for this to be a case of mistaken identity. At the same time Justine notices that her relationship with Ellen is becoming strained. To find the cause she reads a writing assignment that had obsessed her daughter: a bizarre story, set in the Merrison home, of a young murderess named Perrine and the dysfunctional way her family tries to deal with her. Disturbed by a connection between the calls and the story, Justine begins what could turn into a perilous search for answers. VERDICT Hannah (Woman with a Secret) has written what could have been a thriller but is instead an odd combination of the suspenseful (Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train) and the satirical (Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette?), with an unbelievable story line and characters whose behaviors are overwhelmingly far fetched, leaving readers befuddled.--Susan Santa, Shelter Rock P.L., Albertson, NY

        In this shivery stand-alone, Justine has left behind big-city traumas for the quiet English coast, where her daughter seems happy until new best buddy George is expelled from school. But the principal says there was no George, and a stranger keeps calling to insist that she and Justine share a terrible secret. With a 100,000-copy first printing.
