What to expect

Pre-order Five Days Missing now! The gripping new thriller from the bestselling author Caroline Corcoran, coming February 2022.

‘A rival to Gone Girl for its addictive, twisted plot.’ STYLIST

Lexie’s got the perfect life. And someone else wants it…

Lexie loves her home. She feels safe and secure in it – and loved, thanks to her boyfriend Tom.

But recently, something’s not been quite right. A book out of place. A wardrobe door left open. A set of keys going missing…

Tom thinks Lexie’s going mad – but then, he’s away more often than he’s at home nowadays, so he wouldn’t understand.

Because Lexie isn’t losing it. She knows there’s someone out there watching her. And, deep down, she knows there’s nothing she can do to make them stop…

A compelling, heart-racing thriller that will have you looking over your shoulder long after you turn the last page. The perfect read for fans of Louise Candlish and Adele Parks.

‘A deliciously twisted thriller.’ RED

‘Some thrillers peter out, but this atmospheric read really ramps up the pace as it nears its chilling end.’ GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

‘A well- paced, insightful but ultimately twisted look at modern life.’ THE SUN

‘The narrative flows effortlessly as the tension ramps up.’ MY WEEKLY

‘I could not put it down…a fantastically written, deeply dark story that raises important issues.’ THE COURIER

‘A claustrophobic, creepy and atmospheric read.’ WRITING.IE

‘A terrific debut, which gripped me from the very first page’ CASS GREEN, bestselling author of In a Cottage In a Wood

‘The writing is so vivid it’s frightening…an astonishingly powerful exploration of how our own minds can be the darkest, scariest places of all.’ DAISY BUCHANAN, award winning journalist and author

‘SO EXCELLENT…creepy, compelling and genuinely unputdownable.’ LUCY VINE, journalist and bestselling author of Hot Mess
