A psychological suspense thriller about a grieving widower whose fixation on a stranger who resembles his dead wife places him at the centre of a serial murder investigation. Obsession, guilt and misdirection in the rain-soaked streets of Manchester.
He Watched Her Every Night. Now She's Dead.
Jack has it all: a beautiful wife and daughter, a home, a career. Then his wife, Rebecca, plunges to her death from the Sussex coast cliffs, and no one can tell him whether she fell or jumped.
He moves to Manchester with his daughter, Naomi, to start again. Instead, he sees a woman in a window who's the image of Rebecca. Attraction hardens into obsession as he returns to the window night after night. But he isn't the only one watching her.
Now the woman lies dead, the latest victim of a killer who's murdered before and will murder again. Someone is going to answer for these crimes. Unless Jack can work out who the killer really is, that someone may well be him.
Now She's Dead is the first book in the Jack Anderson series, for readers who love psychological suspense, obsessive protagonists, wrong-man tension and serial-killer investigations. Perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, C.J. Tudor and Tana French.
What Amazon and Goodreads readers are saying about Ben Cheetham's books
Emotional and suspenseful... This is one author who knows about heartbreak more than any other author I've read... The first few chapters are filled with poignancy and regrets... Then the story grows into murders and cat/mouse games.
'A fantastic psychological thriller. It had literally everything. A deranged serial killer and a hero with more issues than vogue. There's life, death, fear manipulation, lies, betrayal, friendships both old and new made and shattered into pieces and our hero, Jack, is so damaged that I found myself constantly doubting him until the very last page.'
Dizzying suspense is right. So many names, so many murders and so many twists. I would have never in million years guessed who was behind the crimes. You might be able to figure out some of the puzzle but the ending will set you back.
'The route to the finale is scattered with secrets, suspects and betrayals. Its a twisty road for sure. Very, very enjoyable.'
'Loved it - a book so packed full of drama and suspense you can't put it down until it's finished!'
Wow... the most thrilling psychological thriller I've read in a long time. This had me hooked from page one. I could feel the suspense as I was reading.
Cheetham delivers a real page turner... Don't hesitate, just get this book! You won't be able to put this down as you race through to find out what happens next. A great read for anyone who likes psychological thrillers full of twists and turns.
