About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
You never know what happens behind closed doors.
Rafe seems like your perfect man – intelligent, charming, attractive.
You think you’ve met the one.
You go back to his house one night and fall asleep in his arms.
When you wake, you reach out for him. But something feels cold beside you.
Rafe is dead – murdered in bed as you lay next to him – and everyone is going to think you did it…

Critic Reviews
Absolutely thrilling. Mary Watson is fast establishing herself as one of the most sophisticated and elegant contemporary domestic thriller writers around.
I was hooked from the first page. Pacy, twisty and full of suspense.
I DEVOURED The Lover!
Tight, tense and beautifully written and very human - my favourite kind of thriller.
The Lover is the kind of book that gets under your skin — in the best way. Mary Watson has delivered another unputdownable thriller!
A hooky, twisty psychological thriller. It kept me turning the pages until the satisfying end.
No one does creeping domestic noir like Mary Watson. Tense and truthful – with a killer ending.
Engrossing and twisty.
Praise for Mary Watson
A heart-thumping thriller packed with exciting twists.
