You need to #ReadThis

A brand new bold and gripping debut thriller about a couple whose perfect life in the Swedish countryside is definitely not happily ever after…

We’re giving away 5 sets of 10 proof copies to reading groups across the UK. We’re looking for readers of the psychological suspense genre but are also looking for something a bit different. A bit darker. A bit bolder.

This is Hygge gone to Hell.

In an idyllic house in a Swedish wood, Merry and her husband are building their new dream life with their young baby, far away from events that overshadowed their old life in New York. And they’re happy, aren’t they? Blissfully, blissfully happy.

When Merry’s childhood friend Frances comes to stay, Frances barely recognises her old friend Merry, pureeing baby food, baking, living the Swedish dream. But little by little, cracks begin to show in her carefully constructed fairy tale. And Frances starts to see things others might miss. Dark and treacherous things.

And then a terrible tragedy unfolds…
