Showing results for "English Ivy" in Psychological

Detective Ivy Bishop, fresh from cracking a high-profile case, is haunted by a night she can't remember, with her family gone and her past a blur. Oakhurst is barely back on its feet after dealing with a serial killer when a new crisis hits: two children and their caretaker have disappeared without a trace or ransom note. Despite her superiors' warnings, Ivy is drawn to the case, convinced it's linked to the night from fifteen years ago that left her wandering the streets, her clothes stained with blood.

Traveling to be with her fiance's terminally ill mother in her last days, Saoirse Read expected her introduction to the family's ancestral home would be bittersweet. But the stark thrust of Langdon Hall against the cliff and the hundred darkened windows in its battered walls are almost as forbidding as the woman who lies wasting inside. Her fiance's parents make no secret of their distaste for Saoirse, and their feelings have long since spread to their son. Or perhaps it is only the shadows of her mind suggesting she's unwelcome, seizing on her fears while her beloved grieves?

I'm not supposed to leave the house. But what my husband doesn't know won't kill him. I break his rules every morning on my runs. It's always been best when I have a routine. So every day I wake up, run, clean the house, wish for a better life, repeat. Every day is exactly the same. Except Thursdays. I live and breathe for Thursdays. It's when he comes. I watch from a distance. I can't help myself. But I was never supposed to talk to him. I know what you're thinking. But you don't know my story. You don't know the kind of monster my husband is. And trust me, you have no idea who I am.
