'If you've been left with a Girl on the Train-shaped shaped hole in your life, this book will undoubtedly fill it' Evening Standard

Monica suffers from chronic neuropathic pain. Every second of her life is spent in agony, and she is coping with it the best she can. However, there are whole years of her life which are a blur to her.

But when she finds a suicide note, written in her handwriting, she begins to question everything. She has no memory of writing it - so who did? And if someone tried to kill her once, what's to say they won't try again . . .

Reviews
If you've been left with a Girl on the Train-shaped shaped hole in your life, this book will undoubtedly fill it ... sinister and compelling * Evening Standard *
Terrific, engaging, brand new. The twist, which I didn't see coming, is perfectly set up. In fact, it was forehead-smackingly clever. Monica will stay with me for ever * Steven Moffat *
NJ Fountain has produced a beautifully written thriller that manages to be both devious and compulsive * Ben Aaronovitch *
N.J. Fountain throws in twist after twist... even the keenest mystery reader will be kept guessing to the end * Real Crime *
