Missing persons don't always stay that way
Sandrine is unhappy in her body, her house and her life.
But none of that matters when she meets her man. He makes room for her, a place in his home, with his son.
He cares about where she is, who she is speaking to. He loves her, intensely. Everything would be perfect, if only the first woman, the one from before, would just stay away...

READERS LOVE THE SECOND WOMAN
'This book is immensely dark, enthralling and riveting. Sandrine is not a reliable narrator... and allows the novel to creep up on you, gradually holding you in its grip... This story will not leave you for a long time' *****
'Creepy, paranoid, dark, compelling and very moving' *****
'The Second Woman is absolutely phenomenal. A chilling, intense thriller, which circles around domestic abuse and controlling relationships'
'This novel had me gripped from the very first page and I couldn't put it down, losing sleep to try and finish it... It was unpredictable and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat'
'It was definitely a five-star knock-out...'
