Every Vow You Break

Peter Swanson, Faber & Faber, £19.99

After a whirlwind romance, Abigail is whisked away to a private island by her new husband Bruce – but the spell is broken when the charismatic stranger who seduced Abigail on her hen do suddenly appears.

The author peels away layers of treachery leaving the reader, and unwitting newlywed Abigail, unsure of who to trust. Swanson taps into a survival instinct particularly resonant with the female experience, and makes Every Vow You Break glamorous, dark and terrifying.
