Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the unreliable narrator isn't who you think it is, and you enjoy being wrong about what's actually happening.
  • You're drawn to stories about women in isolated situations with no one to trust, especially when the threat comes from someone charming and seemingly respectable.
  • You appreciate twisted domestic setups where the details don't add up and you're constantly re-evaluating what you know.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your protagonists to be likeable or sympathetic from the start. Jade makes some questionable choices that will frustrate you.
  • You prefer thrillers with clever puzzles to solve. This one relies more on atmosphere and psychological tension than mystery mechanics.
  • You're sensitive to stories involving women in vulnerable states or situations depicting emotional manipulation and control.

About this book

Writer and newlywed Jade Westmore has married Wells, a charming and successful architect who was recently divorced. Behind the gates of their estate, in a caretaker's cottage, lives Wells's first wife, Sylvie. Three years ago, Sylvie suffered an accident that left her nearly catatonic and unable to speak. No physician, psychologist, or specialist has been able to get her to make a sound. One Tuesday morning while Wells is away, Jade visits Sylvie with a bouquet of white lilies, despite being instructed never to disturb her. Sylvie responds by giving Jade a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word written on it: Run. Secrets and lies threaten the new marriage as trust becomes a matter of life and death in this psychological thriller. This edition includes editorial revisions.
