Samantha Hayes recommends

The Fiance (2024)
Rona Halsall
"OMG THIS BOOK!!! What a rollercoaster of a read! From the very first page... I was drawn into Anna's story and couldn't wait to get to the heart-pounding ending. A masterful and twisty tale. I literally had no idea who to trust and who to fear until the very end - I was suspicious of everyone. Just my kind of book! A psychological thriller that'll keep you up late - guaranteed!"

The Book of You (2014)
Claire Kendal
"Addictive I literally hardly breathed as I raced to the end. It's a terrifying thriller."
