Louisa de Lange

Annie is the dream wife. Supportive, respectful, mild-mannered – she is everything her husband wants her to be. But underneath, she is so much more.

Annie is a prisoner in her own life. Her finances, her routine and her contact with the outside world are all controlled by him. Only her love for her little boy keeps her sane, and at night she escapes into a dream world where she is free.

But Annie is going to fight back.

And you won’t believe how she is going to do it . . .

Gripping psychological suspense with a twist that will break your heart.

Coming Autumn 2019.

When Gabriella is found unconscious, cold and alone, the victim of a vicious attack, the first person DS Kate Munro wants to talk to is her identical twin, Thea. There is nobody more obvious as a suspect than her sister: aloof, cold, alone, and estranged from her twin, meeting again for the first time in fifteen years only a week before.

And as Kate begins to dig, there seems to be no end to the twins’ strange history. Why did Gabriella leave all those years ago? And what brought her back, after all that time? With a dangerous assailant still on the loose, DS Munro is determined to find out. But as her obsession builds, her own life starts to unravel.

A thriller not to be missed. Where the line between right and wrong starts to blur. And where nothing is ever as it seems…

I started out studying Psychology at the University of Southampton, before spending many years working in HR. But I had always wanted to be a writer, and am now lucky enough to be a published author, working as a copywriter, proof reader and editor in the gaps.

I live in Hampshire with my son and husband. When I’m not writing I can be found pounding the streets in running shoes, or hiding behind a camera lens. I have too many book cases, too many books I haven’t read, and too much of an addiction to American tv.
