It Could Have Been Her | Lisa Jewell

PREPARE TO BE HOOKED - The no. 1 Sunday Times and MULTI-million-copy bestselling author is back with a brand-new spine tingling thriller.

It was the night she almost died. Jane Trevally, newly divorced and feeling a little lost, agrees to accompany a man she doesn't know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. She's offered a drink, goes in, and then - a scream and the sound of something falling upstairs - Jane senses she's in a bad place. She runs.

Twenty five years later, Jane finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a small white dog who's been found near her home in the country; a dog whose owner has just been reported missing. A fleeting glimpse of a haunted looking woman through the window sends Jane on a mission to uncover the house's secrets - secrets more terrifying than she could have ever imagined, especially when she realises it could have been her ...

A missing woman, a dysfunctional family and dark, dark secrets ... it's the new Lisa Jewell thriller.

'A master of her craft' Michelle McDonagh

' Lisa Jewell is a genius' Sabine Durrant

'Reading a Lisa Jewell is like putting yourself inside a pressure cooker - one that you don't really want to get out of' Jojo Moyes

'Nobody - nobody - does this better than Jewell' A.J. Finn

'Lisa Jewell, the Queen of sick psychopaths, has outdone herself' Tammy Cohen

I don't know how she does it, but again, it's her best book yet. Absolutely stunning storytelling, with layer after layer deftly and tantalisingly revealed, and a denouement that is so perfect, so devilishly clever, and yet I didn't see it coming. A true masterpiece * Andrea Mara *A top-notch thriller, featuring the most endearing protagonist that I can easily identify with - a nosy middle-aged woman who stumbles across the story of a missing girl and decides to investigate it herself. Alternately cosy and harrowing, it investigates the most toxic family I have ever read. Superbly written with wit and class, Lisa Jewell remains at the top of her game with this entertaining and twisty thriller * Liz Nugent *Nobody does dark, dysfunctional families like Lisa Jewell. A writer at the top of her game who consistently smashes it out of the park. I devoured It Could Have Been Her in a day. A deliciously twisted gem of a thriller and her best yet. She really is a genius storyteller. * Claire Douglas *Lisa Jewell books are a must read for me. She creates living, breathing characters you recognise, but also because you can never tell where she is going to go next. I only know that it's going to be dark! * Jojo Moyes *Twisty, twisted and oh so dark. Lisa Jewell once again proves herself a master of suspense. * Riley Sager *
