How can a woman who never existed come back to haunt you?
Gerry Anderson has been having trouble sleeping. He's unwell - bed-bound - and has only his night nurse and his PA for company. But what's really troubling him are the phone calls. Phone calls from a woman claiming to be the 'real' Aubrey.
But that can't be. Aubrey's just a character Gerry made up in a book, years ago.
Can Gerry see past the ever-blurring lines of fact and fiction and figure out who is threatening him, or has his long-overdue moment of reckoning finally arrived?

1⭐️ = Not For Me.
This is a thriller and for me, thrilling it was not. It was like watching paint dry!
I see that many of my Goodreads friends rated this highly, so I’m obviously coming at this from a different angle.
The narrator had a dreadful cheesy,monotone voice and words just appeared to be thrown out there to pad out the storyline. I don’t think I’ll be rushing out to buy another of the author’s books.Julie7 2024-11-29
