Home Is Where The Hurt Is

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Some homes aren't safe. Some secrets don't stay buried.

She thought she married into privilege. Instead, she walked into a trap.

Marlys Brannigan believed she was stepping into a life of luxury. Instead, she’s caught in a house of secrets and under the suffocating control of her powerful husband, Hunter.

Then Hunter vanishes after a dinner party. Days later, his body is found buried in the woods. The police have only one suspect: Marlys.

To clear her name, she must dig into Hunter’s past, uncovering a mysterious care home, handwritten notes about a woman no one will name, and a black SUV that won’t stop following her.

But inside the Brannigan mansion, she’s not alone. The dead are waiting to be heard.

Author

I live in sunny (and humid) North Queensland, Australia, with my furry editorial assistants, Ollie, and Angus (Shih tzu's) and their mortal feline enemies. When I'm not wrangling furry drama, I'm working in my day job. In my downtime, I try to spend quality time with my family, chill out watching Netflix, or reading something from my TBR list. My favourite reads are an eclectic mix of thrillers (obviously), romcoms, cosy mysteries, post-apocalyptic, and some horror. I have dabbled in romance and women's fiction in the past, but was always drawn to the twists of a good thriller.
