Die Vertraute

Everyone lies - but some lies are deadly. The gripping novel by Gilly Macmillan, SPIEGEL bestselling author of "The Nanny"!

Lucy was nine years old when her little brother disappeared. Lucy was the only witness, and her testimony was the only clue in the unsuccessful investigation. But whether her memories of that night are true, Lucy herself doesn't know - since her early childhood, she has had a vivid imagination that sometimes allows her to blur the lines of reality. Three decades later, Lucy has managed to turn this trait into a career - she is a celebrated bestselling author and lives with her husband Dan in Bristol, in the south of England. However, when he surprises her with the purchase of an old, imposing house, a nightmare begins for Lucy. The house is located right on the other side of the forest where her brother disappeared. Lucy cannot escape the memories that are stirred up. Then Dan goes missing without a trace, Lucy becomes the prime suspect, and she must question what she is truly capable of - and what really happened in the woods back then.

Captivating, insidious, atmospheric: Also read "The Nanny" and "A Long Weekend.".
