Flowers for the Dead by Barbara Copperthwaite

He sees her. The one. The sunglasses don't fool anyone, she is clearly upset, her nose and lips swollen from crying. They are two lost souls and he knows his love can help her. After all, she is not the first girl he has followed home.

Adam is the perfect boyfriend. He pays attention, he buys flowers. He knows everything about Laura and looks after her every need. He cooks, he cleans - he even does the dishes without being asked.

But Laura has never met Adam. Still grieving after a devastating car crash that killed her family, she's forgetful and struggling to pull her life together. She'd be horrified to know the depth of this unsettling fantasy in which she is the star. But there's no denying the chill she feels every time she finds another elaborate bouquet on her doorstep, or wakes in the night sensing she is not alone.

Adam has been watching her every move, and now it's time to act. Except, there's one little detail he's missed: Laura has been watching him too.

After everything she's been through, Laura's ready to fight back and stop being the victim in her own life story. But in Adam's world, there are no happy endings.

An unputdownable thriller guaranteed to have you sleeping with the light on and questioning everything you think you know about serial-killer thrillers Perfect for fans of You by Caroline Kepnes, My Lovely Wife by Samantha Dowling and The One by John Marrs.

Barbara Copperthwaite is the author of psychological thrillers Invisible, Flowers for the Dead, and The Darkest Lies. Her latest book is Her Last Secret. Much of her success is thanks to her twenty-odd years' experience as a national newspaper and magazine journalist. She's interviewed the real victims of crime-and also those who have carried those crimes out. Thanks to people sharing their stories with her, she knows the emotional impact of violence and wrong-doing. That's why her novels are dark, realistic and tackle not just the crime but its repercussions.
