The Wrong Woman

It was just a tragic accident ... Wasn't it? A completely addictive murder mystery novel from the author of In the Clearing, soon to be a major psychological thriller TV series with Disney+. When private investigator Reid is sent to look into a suspicious car crash, he finds himself in the one place he swore he'd never go back to - the town where he grew up. Returning to Manson brings back traumatic memories that Reid has spent a decade burying; and keeping his past separate from the investigation is futile. People remember what he did all those years ago. As rumours swirl about the couple involved in the crash, Reid's line of questioning is taken in a new direction when the Chief of Police's daughter goes missing. Was the car crash just an isolated tragic accident, or is there something darker beating at the heart of this small town? Can Reid escape Manson again, or will it finally swallow him whole? Tense and claustrophobic, The Wrong Woman is an edge-of-your-seat suspense novel with provocative characters and gripping twists. (P) 2022 Hachette Australia
