The death of her

Debbie Howells

The Death of Her is a haunting psychological thriller from Debbie Howells, author of the bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club success The Bones of You. A womanâ s body is discovered on a Cornish farm, battered and left for dead in a maize field. Airlifted to hospital, her life hanging in the balance, no oneâ s sure who she is. Three days later she comes round, but her memory is damaged. She knows her name â Evie â but no more, until she remembers another name. Angel â her three-year-old daughter. As the police circulate Evieâ s photo, someone recognizes her. Charlotte knew her years ago, at school, when another child went missing. Leah Danning, who vanished whilst in Evieâ s care. When the police search Evieâ s home, thereâ s no sign of Angel. More disturbingly, thereâ s no evidence that she ever lived there, forcing the police to question whether Evieâ s having some kind of breakdown. But even from the darkest place sheâ s ever known, Evie believes her daughter is alive. The police remain unconvinced â unaware that on the fringes of Evieâ s life, thereâ s someone else. Someone hidden, watching her every move, with their own agenda and their own twisted version of reality
