I Let Him In by Jill Childs

Last night I dreamt about the past for the first time in years. I thought I was over it. I thought I'd finally learned to block it out. But I'm right back there, all over again, inside the house. The room is dark, the corners black with shadow. Then, the scream...


When Louise Taylor is hit by a car as she cycles home in the rain following a fight with her boyfriend, she's left hurt, frightened and confused. And worse, something tells her it wasn't an accident.


Housebound in her cramped apartment while she recovers, flashbacks to her traumatic childhood begin to resurface, threatening her hard-won self-control. Desperate to keep busy and distract herself, she hires Edward - a friend of a friend - to repaint her shabby living room and, hopefully, keep the past at bay.


But when Edward arrives - quiet, considerate and handsome - Lou instantly feels like they've met before, that she can trust him. Tired of carrying the guilt alone after all these years, Lou tells Edward her secret. And to her surprise, he doesn't pull away. He doesn't gasp, or grimace or preach about what she did. And Lou is so relieved to finally be free of this burden at last.


Until she learns that Edward has a secret of his own. One he's been waiting a very, very long time to tell...

A gripping domestic drama from a USA Today bestselling author full of twists and turns, and with a very unexpected ending. Fans of Amanda Prowse, Kerry Fisher and Jodi Picoult won't be able to stop turning the pages.

Jill Childs has always loved stories - real and imaginary. She's spent 30 years traveling the world as a journalist, living overseas and reporting wherever the news took her. She's now made her home in London with her husband and twin girls, who love stories as much as she does.

Although she's covered everything from earthquakes and floods, riots and wars, she's found some of the most extraordinary stories in the secrets and lies she imagines behind closed doors on ordinary streets, just like yours.
