Summary
How well do you know the man lying next to you?
Hallie thought Rafe was the perfect man—intelligent, charming, attractive. He also happens to be her boss at the museum. But, over the past few weeks, things between them have soured, and to make matters worse, someone is harassing Hallie at work, committing sabotage aimed at forcing her out of her job.
No matter who is responsible, Hallie believes she will be safe in Rafe’s arms. She goes to sleep thinking that, after tonight, they can finally return to normal. But she wakes to find Rafe dead—murdered in his bed as she slept beside him. All fingers point to Hallie, and, unless she can find his killer, she’ll go to prison for the rest of her life. But maybe that’s where she’d be safest . . .
Critic Reviews
Praise for The Lover:
“I was hooked from the first page. Pacy, twisty and full of suspense, Mary Watson turns a love story into something infinitely darker, and I raced towards the shocking final pages, my heart pounding the entire time.” —Lisa Hall, bestselling author of Between You and Me
“Intricately plotted, engrossing and twisty, The Lover is a riveting read.” —Amy Jordan, bestselling author of The Dark Hours
“I devoured The Lover! Kept me reading late into the night because it was just too bloody good to put down. Intricately plotted and cleverly structured, with the complex characters and wicked wit that Mary Watson does so brilliantly.” —Michelle McDonagh, bestselling author of There’s Something I Have to Tell You
“No one does creeping domestic noir like Mary Watson. The Lover is a sinuous exploration of the dark side of desire. Thrilling. Tense and truthful—with a killer ending.” —Gill Perdue, author of If I Tell
“The Lover is the kind of book that gets under your skin—in the best way. The characters are so vividly drawn, so terrifyingly real, their motivations so questionable and sinister. I didn’t want this book to end yet I was desperate to find the answers. Mary Watson has delivered another unputdownable thriller!” —Jen Bray, author of The Lies Between Us
“This second novel from Watson . . . shows she’s not just a one-book-wonder. The Lover grabs the reader on the first page and never lets up.” —The Globe and Mail
