Every single woman out there needs to read this, because you either know this man, or you know a woman who knows this man.' - @bookwormescapes 'Razor-sharp, spine-tinglingly convincing and unputdownable.' - Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True 'One of the most daring and intriguing writers working today' – Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl * * * Cole is the perfect husband: a romantic, supportive of his wife, Mel’s career, keen to be a hands-on dad, not a big drinker. A good guy. So when Mel leaves him, he's floored. She was lucky to be with a man like him. Craving solitude, he accepts a job on the coast and quickly settles into his new life where he meets reclusive artist Lennie. Lennie has made the same move for similar reasons. She is living in a crumbling cottage on the edge of a nearby cliff. It’s an undeniably scary location, but sometimes you have to face your fears to get past them. As their relationship develops, two young women go missing while on a walk protesting gendered violence, right by where Cole and Lennie live. Finding themselves at the heart of a police investigation and media frenzy, it soon becomes clear that they don’t know each other very well at all. This is what happens when women have had enough. * * * 'This book will hook you from the first page' – Alice Feeney, author of Daisy Darker 'Groundbreaking. Hall’s take on a very contemporary subject is challenging, revelatory and controversial' – Sunday Times
