Synopsis

After a devastating car crash wipes out her family, Laura struggles to get her life together. Grieving, she becomes forgetful. She doesn't remember how money got into her purse, or buying that pint of milk . . .

Adam is the perfect boyfriend. He cooks meals. He does the housework. He looks after Laura's every need. He knows everything about her.

But Laura has never met Adam. And she knows nothing about him.

What turned him into a monster who stalks his victims? How did he become warped from a sensitive boy who adored the fairy tales his gran read to him? And what is he trying to say with the bouquets he sends?

About Barbara Copperthwaite

Barbara Copperthwaite is the author of psychological thrillers Invisible, Flowers for the Dead, and The Darkest Lies. Her latest book is Her Last Secret. Much of her success is thanks to her twenty-odd years' experience as a national newspaper and magazine journalist. She's interviewed the real victims of crime-and also those who have carried those crimes out. Thanks to people sharing their stories with her, she knows the emotional impact of violence and wrong-doing. That's why her novels are dark, realistic and tackle not just the crime but its repercussions.

Another new author to me but an excellent read. In many ways Adam is the ideal boyfriend. Attentive, aware of all Laura's likes and dislikes, buys her flowers, cooks , cleans but Laura has never met Adam.
