Hi, we all love a writer who's a Mumsnetter, don't we? (Well, I do!) If you haven't come across her before, may I introduce to you Mary Torjussen, who writes brilliant psychological thrillers?
We first met on the MN Creative Writing board and have been friends ever since, going through the ups and downs of publishing together, being the first to read each other's work (we write in different genres) and acting as virtual office colleagues, replacing chats in the tea room with WhatsApp!
Anyway, Mary's latest book is called The Closer You Get and it's AMAZING! Here's the blurb, if you're interested:
Is a marriage worth saving – whatever the cost?
Ruby didn’t plan to have an affair. She doesn’t love her husband, but wouldn’t set out to steal someone else’s. Yet when she met Harry they simply couldn’t keep apart. Now, she’s brave enough to leave her marital home and start again, and so is Harry. Or so she thinks.
Waiting at a hotel for her lover to arrive, Ruby realises she has made a mistake. Harry won’t come. He will never leave his wife.
What Ruby hasn’t worked out is that someone else knows all about the affair. They have been watching Ruby’s every move. They are determined to punish her. And they are even closer than she thinks…
Don’t miss this taut and gripping novel packed with edge-of-your-seat tension and a tale of love that goes badly wrong, perfect for fans of Shalini Boland and Lisa Hall. amzn.to/3eGveYm
