Thriller
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER βBe careful, Fran,β the man said quietly. βAbout what you think you know.β In a dilapidated farmhouse out in the vast waterlogged plains of the English Fenlands, Fran awakes groggily to her babyβs cries one February night and finds the bed empty beside her. Her husband, Nathan, is gone. Moving uneasily through the drafty rooms, searching for her husband, Fran soon makes a devastating discovery that upends her marriage and any semblance of safety. As she tries desperately to make sense of what happened to Nathan, Fran is forced to delve dangerously into the undercurrents of his claustrophobic hometown and question how well she knew him in the first place. Fran, increasingly isolated, grows paranoidβbut Nathan isnβt the only one hiding something. Though she canβt tell a soul, Fran is shielding a damning secret of her own: a hazy, dreamlike memory from the night of Nathanβs disappearance that might be the key to it all. From the bestselling author of The Crooked House comes an utterly gripping psychological thriller spanning the traditions of Daphne du Maurier and S. J. Watson. Christobel Kentβs The Loving Husband is spooky and skillfully written, dragging readers deep into the unsettling world of the Fens and into a marriage of half-truths and past lives, where no one can be trustedβespecially not your spouse.
