“Intricately layered and psychologically taut.” The Strand

Jude’s husband left her. Her parents died in a freak accident. She buys a train ticket for the last place she remembers feeling happy. It was a bookshop. Lowland Glen Books is a rambling old store in the Scottish Highlands. She turns up in tears and the owner, Lowell, kindly offers her a job and a place to stay. Things finally seem to be looking up. Now, another troubled young woman comes to town, claiming Lowell is her father. Sometimes the place you run to is even more dangerous than where you came from. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Patricia MacDonald, T.M. Logan, B.A. Paris, Liane Moriarty, Claire Dyer, Celeste Ng and Shari Lapena. Shortlisted for the Mary Higgins Clark Award.
