The Book of You

Sunday Times top ten bestseller and Richard & Judy pick, The Book of You is a terrifying psychological thriller about obsession and power, perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. You left me no choice, Clarissa. I just want to take you home, Clarissa. I know your darkest secrets, Clarissa. Clarissa is becoming more and more frightened of her colleague, Rafe. He won’t leave her alone, and he refuses to take no for an answer. He is always there. Being selected for jury service is a relief. The courtroom is a safe haven, a place where Rafe can’t be. But as a violent tale of kidnap and abuse unfolds, Clarissa begins to see parallels between her own situation and that of the young woman on the witness stand. Realizing that she bears the burden of proof, Clarissa unravels the twisted, macabre fairytale that Rafe has spun around them – and discovers that the ending he envisions is more terrifying than she could have imagined. The Book of You, by Claire Kendal, is a masterclass in suspense and crime fiction, weaving a tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The thrillers genre has a new benchmark, and it's this terrifying psychological exploration of obsession and power. For fans of Lisa Jewell (None of This is True), B. A. Paris (The Guest), Clare Mackintosh (A Game of Lies), Sadie Ryan (The Wives of Crimson Avenue), and Meg Carter (The Day She Can’t Forget).
