Über dieses E-Book

When Lynn's husband is diagnosed with early-onset dementia, strange things start to happen – things that can't be explained – and her perfect world starts to crumble... Unputdownable, Hitchcockian domestic noir from number-one bestselling author Louise Voss.

Lynn Naismith gave up the job she loved when she married Ed, the love of her life, but it was worth it for the happy years they enjoyed together. Now, ten years on, Ed has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, and things start to happen; things more sinister than missing keys and lost words.

As some memories are forgotten, others, long buried, begin to surface ... and Lynn's perfect world begins to crumble.

But is it Ed's mind playing tricks, or hers...?
