Ten Days: A completely gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist Mel Sherratt

Can her own dark secret set her free?




Day one. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I slowly start to recognise my surroundings: the small hole in the door and a narrow window allowing only a small chink of light. The jewellery given to me by my loving husband is gone and I am wearing someone else's clothes. The room is exactly as the first woman described. And the second. And the third... It's then I know, I am the fifth woman to be taken.




Just days before, I had interviewed the third victim for the local paper. Her story was the same as those before her: an ordinary woman, locked away for ten days then released with no explanation, and nothing - nothing she could think of - to link her to the others. Throughout the ordeal, her abductor stayed eerily silent.




I tell myself I'll be safe; that I can brave the loneliness and survive just like the others. But as the days pass, I can't help thinking of the fourth victim who is still missing.




And then I hear the voice coming through the door. 'You said everything would be fine. But it wasn't was it?' It is then that I realise. If I am to make it out alive, I need to revisit a dark secret of my own that I have spent a lifetime trying to forget.




An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller with a truly brilliant twist, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, T. M. Logan and C. L. Taylor.




This book was previously titled Invisible Victim.
