<p><b>A classic psychological thriller from author of Waterstones Thriller of the Month, <i>Uncle Paul: </i>''Britain''s Patricia Highsmith'' and the ''grandmother of psycho-domestic noir'' (<i>Sunday Times</i>)</b><br><br>''Brilliant ... So witty and clever.'' <b>Elly Griffiths</b><br>''Fremlin packs a punch.'' <b>Ian Rankin</b><br>''Irresistible.'' <b>Val McDermid</b><br>''Splendid ... Got me hooked.'' <b>Ruth Rendell</b><br>''A master of suspense.'' <b>Janice Hallett</b><br><br><i>Lindy had a lovely voice. It rose into the summer darkness clear and true as a nightingale; or was it, rather, like a bird of prey?</i><br><br>Rosamund wakes up from her mid-morning nap to find, to her delight, that she is running a temperature. Surely that explains her blinding headache, and the weird, delirious dream in which she had murdered her overly seductive neighbour - the Other Woman - in a vengeful act of jealousy? A great relief, then, to find this was merely the nightmarish work of a fevered imagination. Until her husband exclaims, ‘Rosamund! Have you any idea what’s happened to Lindy? She’s disappeared!…’</p>
