My name is Linda. Most of my friends, not that I have many left, call me Lindy. I work as a housekeeper in a local hotel. I had the world at my feet once. Not anymore.
The first time I saw Mia was in the car park. She came over to help when my shopping bag split. There’s something about her delicate femininity that mesmerises me.
Ever since then, I’ve been kind of obsessed. Mia is stunning, with beautiful ash-blonde hair. I’ve had mine cut in the same style.
She has two beautiful children, the same age as mine. A gorgeous home on an exclusive estate. And a husband who’s the old-fashioned kind who picks her up after a night out. Mine wouldn’t even pick me up if I fell over in the street.
But then I get a call. Mia’s voice on the phone is breathy, edgy. She’s whispering, like she doesn’t want anyone to hear. ‘Lindy, I need your help. Listen to me, please.’
I’ll help her. But only if she helps me . . .
Sadie Ryan is the author of three books. Her latest, Guilty came out in April 2021, a psychological thriller. She loves animals and lives in leafy Cheshire in the North West of England with her daughter and rescue dog. When not writing she spends her time reading, gardening, walking her dog or watching old black and white movies.
When asked where she gets her ideas from, she says, ‘From observation, inspiration and lots of wicked thoughts.’

My thoughts: Lindy is quite messed up, driven by her grief, she’s been stalking Mia, spying on her, determined to see if Mia is the sort of person she thinks she needs to find.
Mia’s home life looks perfect on the surface, handsome TV presenter husband, two adult daughters, cute dogs, lovely house, but her husband is a controlling bully. She’s terrified of him and he’s got worse recently, taking her phone, changing the locks and holding her captive. Could new friend Lindy help?
As the two women become close and start to work together, events take a dark turn, and things only get worse from there.
Shocking, full of twists and turns and with a jaw dropping ending, this is a smart and gripping thriller.
