Exercise, determination, being the optimum versions of themselves together forever. And Liam always knew what was best.

Until the day he pushes Cassie far beyond her limits, and she walks out of their flat and away from their toxic relationship for good. Two years on and Cassie is stronger, fitter, healthier than ever before. And then she sees him - Liam - those green eyes, those stirring muscles. Something inside her flips. But she holds the power now. It's Liam's turn to sweat. ***PRAISE FOR EMMA HEALEY'S ELIZABETH IS MISSING'Every bit as compelling as the frenzied hype suggests.

Whistle in the Dark

From award-winning novelist Emma Healey comes a wry, poignant, sharply observed new novel about mothers and daughters in the modern age. Jen and Hugh Maddox have just survived every parent’s worst nightmare. Relieved but still terrified, they sit by the hospital bedside of their fifteen-year-old daughter, Lana, who was found bloodied, bruised, and disoriented after going missing for four days during a mother-daughter vacation in the country. Lana won’t tell anyone what happened, and the police think the case is closed. But Jen can’t leave it alone. Lana is distant, hostile, and acting strangely: she stops going to school and sleeps with the light on. Jen is sure the answer lies in those four missing days. Lana seems equally sure she’ll never speak of it. Terrified of losing her all over again, Jen has to do something. But how do you rescue someone who has already been found? Asking how well you can know even those closest to you, Whistle in the Dark is a masterfully drawn, thought-provoking, and psychologically complex tale that affirms Emma Healey’s status as a writer at the top of her game.
