The Perfect Escape

The twisty psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

It was supposed to be a holiday...
The gripping new psychological thriller from the author of 2020's twistiest debut, One White Lie.

When her husband Harry walks out after just six months, Sam has never been in more need of a getaway.

So when her friends Diana and Margaret - newly single themselves - suggest a girls' weekend away, Sam can't accept soon enough.

But then things start to go wrong. Car trouble on the road leaves them stranded. And what's more, it's in the town where he lives.

Sam is sure a big night out can't hurt. After all, it's hardly likely that Harry would show up, right?

And no one could ever expect the night would end in murder...
