Three psychological thrillers
LET ME LIE by Clare Mackintosh, Hachette (available from March 13)
If you read Clare Mackintosh’s I Let You Go and couldn’t let it go, buckle up for another killer ride. Told from multiple viewpoints, this tale keeps you guessing. A year after her mum committed suicide jumping off the same spot where her husband ended his life a few months before, Anna receives an anonymous note suggesting her parents were murdered and she’s in danger too.
THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen, Macmillan
Vanessa Thompson is obsessed with her ex-husband’s fiancée, young, pretty Nellie. Her marriage collapsed following failed attempts at fertility treatment and she is falling apart at the seams. But there’s more at play here than a jealous ex-wife, and the twisting plot packs quite a punch as the characters are pulled apart and their motives slowly revealed. A shocking page turner.
THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by A.J. Finn, HarperCollins
There’s more than a whiff of The Girl on the Train about A.J. Finn’s twisted tale in which the often inebriated Anna Fox spies something she shouldn’t during her staring-out-ofthe-window connections with the real world. The 38-year-old Manhattan resident is crippled with agoraphobia and hasn’t left her home for 10 months, but now she must take action. Sharp and beautifully plotted, movie rights have already sold.
