WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND

WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND is a psychological suspense thriller set in a modernist glass house in the woods in rural England. Lauren can't believe she's escaped her old life in London for a new start with her partner, Paul, and his two young children. Haunted by her past, Lauren knows how lucky she is: a dream home, a ready-made family. And she also knows how much she could lose. But as Lauren struggles to adjust to motherhood, her fears grow. She'll never live up to the ghost of Paul's perfect wife, or help him forget his grief over her tragic death. And as village rumours begin to swirl about their house in the woods, Lauren feels ever more isolated – despite Paul's reassurances. She wants to trust Paul – she owes him everything – but how can she, when she can barely trust herself?
