The Driving Seat

what is your freedom worth to you.?

Set in London and the Scottish Highlands, The Driving Seat is a thriller packed with blistering black humour and compulsive plotting. When Emma seizes the opportunity to escape from her narcissistic husband, she believes she has secured her freedom . but at what cost?

This is a a darkly comic debut novel from an exciting new talent in fiction.

When her husband returns from rehab with a new lover, Emma bolts with her baby on a midnight train to a castle in the Scottish Highlands. A job as a live-in driver for a glamorous marchioness promises safety and the chance to reinvent herself. Everything seems to have fallen into place.

But the castle is no sanctuary. Dark secrets stalk its halls, the marchioness’s behaviour spirals into the unhinged and someone, Emma suspects, is following her. She hasn’t steered herself out of danger – she’s driven straight into it.

'I completely adored this sad, quirky and funny caper . Full of warmth, sympathy and hard-won wisdom, this is definitely my read of the week' – Daily Mail

'An intriguing debut . a beguiling mash-up of domestic absurdity and psychological thriller as Emma takes the reader into her confidence with her Fleabag-esque confessional narration. We’re her co-conspirators and completely on her side, especially when her new life starts to fall apart' – The Scotsman

'This darkly delicious debut, peppered with humour, explores the trials of motherhood, and the courage it takes to steer a new course in life' – Sunday Post
