*******

It starts with a shocking accusation . . .

Stephanie and Patrick are recently married, with new-born twins. While Stephanie struggles with the disorienting effects of sleep deprivation, there’s one thing she knows for certain – she has everything she ever wanted.

Then a woman from his past arrives and makes a shocking accusation about his first wife. He always claimed her death was an accident – but she says it was murder.

He insists he’s innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. But is Patrick telling the truth? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?

How will it end?

Critics Review

  • Shari Lapena is one of the best thriller writers in the business.

    Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of THIRTEEN
  • The End of Her is a slippery eel of a novel – just when you think you have it in your grasp, it slithers away on a new current. I consumed it in a day, desperate to discover the fate of the evil Erica. Unputdownable.

    Louise Candlish
  • Shari Lapena has done it again – another cracking domestic thriller, and trust me, ‘the end’ will leave you clamouring for more.

    Cara Hunter
  • Another unputdownable suburban thriller with the finest love-to-hate characters and a wickedly paced mystery.

    Elizabeth Kay
  • I read the cracking The End of Her in one sitting. All hail the Mistress of the Page Turner.
