Believe

Natalie has spent ten years trying to get over the two events which changed her life forever.
The first: the moment her boss assaulted her. The second: the moment the jury declared him innocent - and her, a liar.
So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge.
Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can't trust anyone - herself included...

One of the finest crime stories of the year so far. Govett is a name to watch

She has since authored several bestselling YA novels, including The Territory trilogy and We Go On Forever. She also co-wrote the screenplay for the feature film, T.I.M., which was the no. 1 film on Netflix upon release. Believe is her debut adult thriller.
