Happily Ever After

‘Twisty, riveting storytelling’ Clare Leslie Hall, author of BROKEN COUNTRY
An electrifying novel of suspense, love and lies from the critically acclaimed author of The Stranger's Companion.

'Twisty, riveting storytelling with a plot that surprises until the very end. Happily Ever After is a beautifully written thriller' Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country

Nobody told her that marriage would be murder .

Ned Wheeler was devoted to his family. He was also convicted and jailed for murder.

After spending three decades in prison, Ned's up for parole. But this is not his story. It's about Joan, the wife who was fooled by his good looks and charm; Cass, the daughter who wants nothing more to do with him; and Florence, the woman who wants the world to know she's saved him.

Moving seamlessly between contemporary London, the hedonistic hippy summer of 1970 and the small world of 1980s Isle of Wight, Mary Horlock has delivered an utterly gripping and moving thriller about love, loss and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive.

'I read it in hungry gulps, unable to tear myself away . Twisty, clever and nuanced, highly recommended!' Zoë Somerville, author of The Marsh House

'Such an addictive read! Horlock's writing is richly textured and cinematic' Jessie Elland, author of The Ladie Upstairs
