Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers where the threat comes from inside the marriage, not from a stranger.
  • You want a plot that genuinely surprises you in the final act, not just a twist for twist's sake.
  • You're drawn to stories about women recognising danger slowly, then having to act fast.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries or lighter domestic dramas without sustained dread.
  • You need your female protagonists to be always two steps ahead of the danger.
  • You dislike stories involving suicide as a plot element, even when it's central to unravelling the mystery.

About this book

A woman who has recently been promoted to executive director at Morgan Stanley notices disturbing changes in her home: walls shifting shades overnight, cold coffee cups appearing in unexpected places, and her husband Mark's growing obsession with perfection becoming increasingly unsettling. When she meets Mark's schizophrenic father, she hears cryptic warnings about Mark's sister Rachel, whose suicide a decade earlier remains shrouded in secrecy. As Mark's behavior becomes more erratic and frightening, the woman begins to suspect that something far more sinister than mental illness may be responsible for Rachel's death—and may pose a threat to her own family. As she uncovers the truth about what happened to Rachel, events spiral beyond her control. Don't Hurt Me is the first book in The Lawrence Secrets Series.
