Description

He knows your every move...
__________________________

She's watching over them. And he's watching her...


Ria Taylor is everything to everyone. Wife and mother, the centre of her family. And the manager of a refuge for women whose partners have driven them out of their own homes.

But one night, with her husband away, Ria receives a terrifyingly sinister message. Someone is watching her. Someone who seems to know everything about her. She knows what she should do - seek help, just like she tells her clients to. But Ria is the help. As events escalate, and terror takes hold, Ria must decide whether to run or hide...

Reviews
Powerful ... moving ... convincing. * Daily Mail *
Bravo. An unsettling - and at times incredibly difficult - read describing too many people's everyday reality. * Anstey Harris, author of The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton *
Horrifying in its reflection of reality for many women - and men. * Literary Review *
A clever title for a very thoughtful book about the complexities surrounding the victims of domestic abuse. * Irish Daily Mail *
How to Play Dead is an excellent story, something that will leave a deep impression on you... it has deeply affected me... This is a book that will make you stop and think. * New Books Magazine *
Hugely engrossing - a dark delight. * Catherine Ryan Howard, author of Rewind, on Perfect Ten *
A wildly entertaining and compelling debut. * Daily Mail, on Perfect Ten *
Fascinating. * Paula Daly, author of Open Your Eyes, on Perfect Ten *
Penetratingly sharp on the complexities of psychological abuse and the human heart, this compulsive, disturbing debut will be relished by fans of Gillian Flynn and Paula Daly. * Joanne Owen, LoveReading, on Perfect Ten *

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
