The Alibi

As the snow falls on a rural British inn, the darkest secrets of the stranded guests are revealed in this intense historical mystery. When Jack, a disillusioned Cambridge graduate stuck in a dead-end job, meets the enigmatic Giselle on a train from Paris and she agrees to accompany him to a wedding, he believes he's found the answer to his problems. But things take a chilling turn when a blizzard traps the guests in a desolate Northumbrian guesthouse. Snowed in with a cast of odd, watchful strangers, suspicion builds as lies begins to unravel. As the blizzard rages outside, so too does the tension inside. Whispers in the night. Locked doors. A mounting sense of being followed. When the snow finally thaws, one truth becomes terrifyingly clear: not everyone trapped in the house will leave it. Gripping, elegant and unsettling, The Alibi is a haunting mystery about lies we tell, love we can't forget, and consequences we can't outrun. Perfect for readers of Laura Purcell, Kate Morton and Louise Douglas.
