It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell

PREPARE TO BE HOOKED- The no. 1 Sunday Times and MULTI-million-copy bestselling author is back with a brand-new spine tingling thriller.

It was the night she almost died.

Jane Trevally, newly divorced and feeling a little lost, agrees to accompany a man she doesn’t know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. She’s offered a drink, goes in, and then – a scream and the sound of something falling upstairs – Jane senses she’s in a bad place. She runs.

Twenty five years later, Jane finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a small white dog who’s been found near her home in the country; a dog whose owner has just been reported missing.

A fleeting glimpse of a haunted looking woman through the window sends Jane on a mission to uncover the house’s secrets – secrets more terrifying than she could have ever imagined, especially when she realises it could have been her …

A missing woman, a dysfunctional family and dark, dark secrets … Prepare to be hooked- it’s the new Lisa Jewell thriller.
