The Secret Wife is out now!

What happens when you take a modern psychological thriller, such as Emma Donoghue's ROOM, and blend it with Daphne du Maurier's classic, REBECCA? That's the question I had in mind when I set out to write my latest gothic suspense thriller, THE SECRET WIFE, which is set in a remote part of Cornwall in the 1840s.


The title has just been released for Kindle and in paperback. Here are some of the things readers are already saying about it...

'An excellent and compelling story'  . . .  'To say I was hooked by the bottom of the first page is an understatement'  . . .  'An engrossing page turner, tense and dramatically descriptive'  . . .  'You just can't put it down. A must read.'

My new historical suspense thriller, The Secret wife is now available to pre-order and will be out for Kindle and in paperback worldwide on 25 June.

From the author of The Penmaker’s Wife, and the million-copy bestselling JEFFERSON TAYTE series, The Secret Wife is a chilling tale of survival in nineteenth-century Cornwall.

Description:

Locked away. Believed to be dead. Can a mother survive her murderous husband's cruel oppression?

A house fire at Crows-an-Wra Manor in a remote part of West Cornwall supposedly takes the life of its mistress, Rosen Trevelyan. Sometime later, she awakes to find herself locked in an unfamiliar room, questioning why her husband, Richard, has done this to her. And what of their daughter? Did Sophia really die in the fire, as Rosen has been led to believe?


When a stranger arrives at the manor, and the reason for Rosen’s incarceration becomes clear, she fears that her husband can ill afford to keep her alive much longer. But could this harbinger of her death also be her salvation? 

Under the watchful eyes of Richard’s hateful mother, Mariah, Rosen must do all she can to survive their cruelty, in the hope that she will some day be reunited with her daughter, but time is running out. 

Can this stranger to Crows-an-Wra Manor discover the truth before it’s too late for both of them?

Room meets Rebecca in a suspenseful tale of deception, murder, and survival in nineteenth-century Cornwall.
