The latest gripping psychological thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Cradle in the Grave
It's past midnight, but Connie Bowskill can't sleep. To pass the time, she logs on to a real estate website in search of a particular house, one she is obsessed with for reasons she's too scared to even admit to herself. As she clicks through the virtual tour, she comes across a scene from a nightmare: a woman lying facedown on the living room floor in a pool of blood. But when she returns to show her husband, there is no body, no blood—just a perfectly ordinary room. With plot twists that will keep readers up all night, The Other Woman's House is another unforgettable story by a new master of the crime novel.

Jackie says:
"I'm not much for UK based mysteries--I just don't understand how it all works over there. But I do make an exception for Sophie Hannah--she keeps me too busy trying to figure out her very complicated characters and the even more complicated situations they find themselves in. Connie and her husband Kit, the main characters in The Other Woman's House are not exceptions. It starts out simple enough--Connie can't sleep so she's up looking at a house tour online when she sees a woman laying in a pool of blood. She races to the bedroom to get her husband, who dutifully goes to see things for himself--finding no sign of blood or any woman, let alone a dead one. But Connie knows what she's seen, and, it turns out, knows a bit about that house and the people who live there. This opens the door to the labyrinth of lies, tricks, cheats, doubts and long held psychosis--and a very complex puzzle for the reader to figure out. This book features some characters from previous books, but this one stands alone just fine. The important part is to remember that calling what Hannah does "plot twists" is like calling a tornado a summer rain, so be prepared."
