I was so excited to welcome Anastasia Drummond to our pretty little street. But the moment I meet her, my heart stops. Because I know those ice-cold eyes. She looks like my husband’s ex-wife. The one who went missing. The one declared dead over a decade ago…

I’m determined to get to the bottom of this strange coincidence. But my husband tells me I’m just imagining things.

Anastasia is a beautiful young widow and has moved to our idyllic, tree-lined avenue for a fresh start with her little girl. All my friends love our glamorous new neighbor, and my daughter, Matilda, wants nothing more than to play with her new best friend over the road.

Just as I’m about to accept my husband’s pleadings and put it down to paranoia, Anastasia says something that turns my world upside down. I can’t stop my hands from shaking as my blood runs cold. Does she know the one thing about me that she shouldn’t?

Now, I am sure Anastasia is lying.

And as my perfect life begins to crumble around me, I realize that my baby girl and I might really be in terrible danger.

But I have a plan of my own. This “widow” has no idea how far I’ll go to keep my family, and my secrets, safe…

An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will have you glued and screaming at the jaw-dropping twist. If you love The Perfect Marriage, Gone Girl and anything by Lisa Jewell or Nicola Sanders, you’ll be hooked on The Widow's Lie!
