The Second Woman

‘A timely, gripping and morally complex thriller’ MAIL ON SUNDAY




Two women are found dead.


Both had a secret.


Both had a choice.

Artemis leaves her home in Greece to start a shiny new life with her wealthy husband, Clive Witherall, in 1990s London. Finally she has escaped the ghosts of her past. Until she is discovered hanging from the stairs of their beautiful family home.


Two decades later, the apparent suicide of heiress Anna Witherall uncannily mirrors Artemis’ mysterious death.


What is the web of deceit that binds these two women? And what deadly secrets were they hiding?
