The baby shower: a totally unputdownable psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist - S. E. Lynes

• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

She doesn't know I'm there, watching her in the mirror.

She slides her hand under her blouse.

And then I see something impossible.

She isn't pregnant.

She bursts into my life like a storm, and nothing is the same again.

She seems so perfect, with her lilting laugh and her beautiful face.

One by one, I watch as my friends fall under her spell.

Only I seem to suspect something.

Only I see that her smiles don't reach her cold, furious eyes.

And when I'm accused of things I didn't do, when my home is vandalized, I know she's behind it.

But she only lets her mask slip when no one is looking, so if I say anything, I'll look crazy.

So when the baby shower comes around I'm there, sitting on a velvet sofa in a posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons.

We share gifts, we pour small glasses of champagne, and she beams, her bump just visible under her bright red shirt.

But that afternoon, I finally learn the unbelievable truth.

There is no baby.

A stunningly twisty story of toxic female friendships, guilt and lies from S.

Lynes, author of the no.
