About the book
About The Life I Had: A Twisty, Addictive Psychological Thriller About Love, Lies and Control
What if the person you trust most is the one you should fear? A gripping psychological thriller of love, control, and the lies we tell to survive. When Nikki Maxwell wakes each morning beside her devoted husband in their beautiful Peak District home, she tells herself she’s happy. Lucky, even. But sometimes the past whispers—fragments of another life she can’t quite reach. Then a stranger appears in the village. A woman who seems to know more about Nikki than she knows about herself. And as small cracks form in the world her husband built around her, doubt begins to spread like rot beneath the surface. Someone is lying. Someone knows the truth about who Nikki really is—and what they’re desperate to keep hidden. Trapped between what she’s told and what she feels, Nikki must uncover the truth before it destroys everything. Because some memories refuse to stay buried. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Claire Douglas, and Gillian McAllister.
