THE WOMAN OUTSIDE MY DOOR

Rachel Ryan

From "a bright new voice in psychological thrillers" (Erin Kelly, USA TODAY bestselling author of He Said/She Said), The Woman Outside My Door is an unputdownable page-turner about a young mother who can't shake the feeling that her son's "imaginary" friend is putting him in very real dangerperfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Mary Kubica.
All children have imaginary friends, Georgina tells herself. It's perfectly normal, and they all grow out of it in the end. But when her seven-year-old son, Cody, tells her about New Granny, the friend he's met in the park, Georgina is instantly suspicious. Something -call it maternal instinct- tells her he isn't making it up.

But maybe Georgina is losing her mind. It wouldn't be the first time, after all. And with her own mother's recent death leaving her bereft and trying to cope with life as a busy working mom, it's no wonder she's feeling paranoid that Cody has invented a "New Granny" to replace his beloved grandmother.

Her husband, Bren, becomes the voice of reason, assuring Georgina that it's just a game, the product of their son's overactive imagination. But what if Cody's imaginary friend is not so imaginary after all?

"Packed with jaw-dropping moments, The Woman Outside My Door is a twisty thriller with hidden depths" (Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author of The Party) that will keep you guessing until the shocking last page.

Rachel Ryan was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. She can usually be found writing in coffee shops, hanging around libraries, or walking the streets of Dublin, making up stories. The Woman Outside My Door is her first novel.
