<p><strong>'Unputdownable' JOSEPH O'CONNOR</strong></p>
<p><strong>'A roller coaster read' LIZ NUGENT</strong></p>
<p><strong>THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS. NOW THEY ARE MURDERER AND WITNESS.</strong></p>
<p><strong>At the heart of the classic novel Rebecca lies a mystery ...</strong></p>
<p>Pearl Day has always lived in the background - companion to her childhood friend, the dazzling and unpredictable Lady Eleanor Nicholson. Their bond was forged at Alderleigh, Eleanor's crumbling country estate, but now they share a sleek London home where Eleanor's life of indulgence is spiralling into chaos.</p>
<p>When Eleanor shoots her lover in a drunken rage, Pearl becomes the key witness in a scandalous murder trial. But she knows more than she's revealed - and with Eleanor behind bars, she sees a chance to escape her quiet desperation. Their connection, once rooted in friendship, is now warped by grief, envy and power. And Eleanor's reach is long.</p>
<p>Set between 1930s London and the windswept Cornwall coast, this taut, gothic thriller dares to answer one of literature's abiding questions: in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, who is the woman in the water?</p>
