The addictive and utterly gripping psychological thriller

The Truth About Her

If You Didn’t Kill Her

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Tense, twisty, addictive and deeply emotive, If You Didn’t Kill Her is a cleverly written, utterly compelling read that had me furiously turning the pages and guessing all the way to the nail-bitting denouement. Unmissable!

Taylor examines the complex nature of female friendships, and how you can love and hate with equal measure

Taylor writes poignantly about the struggle to adjust to life outside after a long prison sentence...it's a thought-provoking novel, raising questions about attitudes that derail investigations and lead to wrongful convictions

An absolutely gripping thriller that combines a seductive setting, a twisty plot, and complex characters...I devoured this book in a day - unputdownable!

Brilliantly twisty and fast-paced...I couldn't put it down!

A creepy, twisty page-turner where nothing is as it seems...immersive and atmospheric, an incredible novel. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended

Honest, relevant, and full of twists. A seriously compulsive read!

Fifteen years ago, Chelsea was convicted for the murder of her university roommate, Isabella. 
 
Now, she’s being released early, and she just has one thing on her mind – clearing her name. 
 
Chelsea has always maintained that she was wrongfully accused. Now’s her chance to prove her innocence, once and for all. 
 
But as Chelsea starts digging into the past, new details – and suspects – start coming to light. And the closer Chelsea gets to the truth, the more dangerous things become. 
 
She’s waited years to uncover the truth. But will the real murderer find her first - and silence her forever?

She was wrongfully convicted. Now she’s free – to clear her name and catch a killer. But will the murderer find her first? 
 Perfect for fans of Heidi Perks and Andrea Mara
