'Eerie, atmospheric' Louise Jensen
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how much can you trust what you see?
When Maddy Wight is hired to ghostwrite the memoir of world-renowned cosmetic surgeon Angela Reynolds, she jumps at the chance to get her career back on track. But the deeper she digs, the more elusive the doctor becomes.
Confined to Angelaâs glass-walled house in the Scottish Highlands, Maddy canât shake the unsettling feeling of being watched. As a result, she is drawn ever closer to Angelaâs enigmatic business partner Scott, whose mercurial moods change as quickly as the darkening moors outside.
Returning to London once the book is finished, Maddy is excited for their future together. But news of Scottâs death shatters the celebrations at the bookâs launch party. Which is why, months later and still grieving, she is blindsided to see Scott entering a tube station just in front of her. And before she knows it, she is following him.
In this reimagining of Hitchcockâs Vertigo, jeopardy can be lurking where you least expect itâŚ
