Jenna is a wife, a mother, a doctor. She’s also the victim of a stalker.
Every time she leaves her house, she sees him. Disturbing gifts are left at her door. Cruel emails are sent to her colleagues. She has no idea who this man is but she feels powerless against him.
Until the day he is brought into her hospital after a serious accident, and Jenna is given the chance to find out once and for all why this man is tormenting her. Now, the power is all hers.
But how many lines is she willing to cross to take back control of her life?

What a cleverly plotted and written psychological thriller.
Starts off simply enough with Jenna clearly being stalked. Those descriptions from her point of view were troubling, and unsettling to read.
Then we discover the man she is sure is the stalker is brought into her a&e department and she realises there is a potential power shift and will she potentially break the Hippocratic oath?
At the same time we get chapters focusing on Sophie, and her not overly healthy looking relationship with Nick.
All of the writing points you in a certain direction but how much can you trust an author to not have some surprises up her sleeve.
This may only be Lauren North's second psychological thriller but it is incredible. I was hooked on the words and devoured it predominantly in one sitting in the garden one afternoon.
Disturbing, well written and the culmination of the story lines was brilliant. Definitely a book I'd recommend
