    About this ebook

    A terrible accident. A secret discovered. An inescapable nightmare. Who needs enemies with friends like these? The unnerving new novel from the acclaimed author of LULLABY

    En route from ending a destructive love affair, TV producer Maggie Warren is involved in a freak accident. Lucky to escape with her life, Maggie's further disturbed to discover she's now front-page news. When invited to discuss her trauma on a chat-show, Maggie comes face to face with fellow survivor, the beautiful but damaged Fay Carter – fame-hungry, needy and now apparently infatuated.

    One by one the tentacles of Maggie's past mistakes seem to be reaching inexorably into her future. Her compromised career is catching up with her, ex-boyfriend Alex just won't take no for an answer – but worse, the secret Maggie has tried so hard to bury is coming back to haunt her.

    When Maggie's flat is ransacked, she refuses to believe it's a coincidence. Now Maggie's clutching onto sanity for dear life, but she's horribly aware that one final push might send her over the edge…or is that exactly what someone wants?

    Claire Seeber

    Born in London with a love of all things dramatic, Claire began her career as an actress. Soon deciding she'd rather pull strings safely behind the scenes, Claire forged a successful career in documentary television, enabling her to travel the world, glimpsing into lives otherwise unseen. Also a feature-writer for newspapers such as The Guardian, Independent on Sunday and The Telegraph, Claire now combines (furious) scribbling with keeping a beady eye on her toddler and her brand-new baby.

      This book was not at all what I was expecting. I was all lined up for a tense thriller, but actually it read more like chick lit. I'm not a fan of chick lit, in fact I avoid it on the bookshelves, but I really did enjoy this. It's like a crossover chick-thriller. Perhaps Seeber has invented a new genre! I found myself thinking about the book when I was halfway through and yearning to get home to find out what happened next. Although I sussed out 'whodunnit' I have to say that I had veered through nearly all the characters thinking 'theydunnit' so all credit to the author...I thought there was some pretty clever maneouvering in the plot. Admittedly the main character had more than her fair share of bad luck, but then it wouldn't make for such a good read if we didn't have to suspend reality a little. I feel converted. Chick lit no, but this crossover definitley - I'd look for more by this author and recommend this as a great escapist weekend read.
