YOU ARE NOT ALONE – and after reading these you won’t want to be…

 

While writing Sister Dear, and even though I knew Eleanor was a figment of my imagination, she still made me (irrationally) double-check my front door was locked. If, like me, you enjoy books about stalkers that get under your skin, here’s a list of older and new novels to satisfy that particular compulsion. Frissons guaranteed.

 

  • Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes (Myriad Editions, 2007)

 

Catherine Bailey meets Lee Brightman, a gorgeous, charismatic and slightly mysterious man who seems almost too perfect to be true.

  • Creep by Jennifer Hillier (Galley Books, 2011)

  • Watching You by Lisa Jewell (Atria Books, 2018)

 

Melville Heights may be considered one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Bristol, England, but that doesn’t mean everybody is safe, nobody has secrets, and people aren’t watching you.
