The Second Wife - A Psychological Thriller

Don’t drink the tea.

Nora thought she had found the perfect life: a whirlwind romance with Julian Hart, a charming widower, and a beautiful old house on the shores of Seneca Lake. But from the moment she arrives, the first Mrs. Hart is everywhere. Her portrait hangs in the front hall. Her paintings fill the tower studio. And her nine-year-old daughter insists that Mommy isn’t dead, she’s only hiding.

Claire Hart vanished three years ago, on the night of the first snow. Her sailboat was found upside down in the middle of the lake. Her body was never recovered.

Now white rose petals appear on Nora’s pillow. A light moves in the boathouse at night. Her elegant mother-in-law brings her a special tea every evening, and Nora begins to feel sick, just as Claire did.

When a message arrives from a dead woman’s email, Nora must decide who to trust: the husband who wants to believe she’s losing her mind, or a ghost who may be the only person telling the truth.

A gripping domestic thriller full of secrets, poison and two unforgettable women, with a double twist you won’t see coming.
