He’s watching you … but should he be afraid?

Leah should have been enjoying a night in with her best friend and housemate Claire, binging on chocolate and her favourite Netflix show.

But instead, she is suddenly forced to fight for her life when strong hands grab her. A knife is pressed to Leah’s throat and as tears run down her cheeks, she knows she will have to do as she is told if she wants to survive the night.

2 years on …

The community has forgotten about the woman so violently snatched from their midst. Leah’s best friend, however, can’t forget the person who was closer to her than a sister. Nor does she want to believe the shocking secrets she has unearthed about her friend in her absence.

Claire refuses to let go. She won’t forget the only person she ever really cared about. And she will never go about her life as if Leah never existed. She also knows that the danger that took her best friend still lurks unpunished in their hometown. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when Claire is snatched too.

But the last thing she intends is to become one more victim. She feels her abductor should be the one who should be afraid.

Can Claire survive longer than one night?
Will she ever discover what really happened to Leah?

The Victim is a gripping psychological thriller that will leave page-turning readers unable to put it down until the final breathtaking twist. Fans of K.L Slater, Shalini Boland and Daniel Hurst will love the addictive twists and turns that will have them racing through the pages long into the night.

Author Guest Post

Which chapter was the most difficult for you to write and why?

 

There are so many ways to answer this! But I guess the last chapter was the hardest to write as I enjoyed the characters story so much. Without giving too much away, there is a twist in the final moments of the book which would have been tempting to explore further. But all good things must come to an end!

 

It’s always a little sad when I come to the end of a book and have to say goodbye to the characters I’ve spent a good deal of time with. Then again, all those loose ends need tying up and it’s nice to see how the characters have changed and developed as a result of their experiences throughout the story.

 

Exploring the final twist some more would have extended the narrative further and allowed for further exploration of the characters’ lives. Ultimately, though it was important to bring the story to a close at that moment, if no other reason than to leave some elements to the imagination of the readers! The feedback I’ve had so far on The Victim is that people are reading it in one or two sittings – and that is my favourite kind of psychological thriller!
