A spellbinding, darkly twisted novel about desire and obsession, and the complicated lines between truth and perception, Our Kind of Cruelty introduces Araminta Hall, a chilling new voice in psychological suspense.
This is a love story. Mikeβs love story.
Mike Hayes fought his way out of a brutal childhood and into a quiet, if lonely, life before he met Verity Metcalf. V taught him about love, and in return, Mike has dedicated his life to making her happy. Heβs found the perfect home, the perfect job; heβs sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. He knows theyβll be blissfully happy together.
It doesnβt matter that she hasnβt been returning his e-mails or phone calls. It doesnβt matter that she says sheβs marrying Angus.
Itβs all just part of the secret game they used to play. If Mike watches V closely, heβll see the signs. If he keeps track of her every move, heβll know just when to come to her rescue . . .
