'A fabulous new writer' Richard Osman
'Compelling, tense and pacy' Observer
-------------
HE LOVES YOU. HE CONTROLS YOU. HE'LL NEVER LET YOU GO.
He's been looking in the windows again. Messing with cameras. Leaving notes.
Supposed to be a refuge. But death got inside.
When Katie Straw's body is pulled from the waters of the local suicide spot, the police decide it's an open-and-shut case. A standard-issue female suicide.
But the residents of Widringham women's refuge where Katie worked don't agree. They say it's murder.
Will you listen to them?
An addictive literary page-turner about a crime as shocking as it is commonplace, KEEPER will leave you reeling long after the final page is turned.

A literary thriller, KEEPER is a compelling, tense and pacy read
The Observer, 10 Best Debut Novelists of 2020
-
Reading Keeper is a visceral experience ... cleverly reminding us that for some women simply existing in a man's world is more dangerous than anything else
Araminta Hall, author of 'Our Kind of Cruelty'
-
Intense and compassionate . . . it made me furious and sad, but it also made me feel seen
Hanna Jameson, author of 'The Last'
-
Male violence in all its forms is at the heart of Jessica Moor's confident and skilful debut
The Observer
-
Keeper is wickedly paced and utterly chilling, making space for the interior lives of its victims and their gradually shrinking worlds, all the while exposing the failures of the systems that are supposed to protect them. As compulsive as it is heartbreaking
Rosie Price, author of 'What Red Was'
-
Extraordinary and compelling
Cara Hunter, author of 'Close to Home'
-
Pacy, absorbing and electric in its detail, Keeper is compassionately, furiously true. Men should read this book, and I'd be shocked to meet a woman who doesn't find some part of herself here
Beth Underdown, author of 'The Witchfinder's Sister'
