Cuckoo
Author(s): Julia Crouch
A dark, juicy, deliciously unsettling, read-it-in-one-sitting psychological drama. Rose has it all - the gorgeous children, the husband, the beautiful home. But then her best friend Polly comes to stay. Very soon, Rose's cosy world starts to fall apart at the seams - her baby falls dangerously ill, her husband is distracted - is Polly behind it all ? It appears that once you invite Polly into your home, it's very difficult to get her out again...
Product Information
'Brilliant...truly chilling' -- Sophie Hannah 'Very enjoyable; expertly paced and very cleverly ambiguous' -- Telegraph 'A tale of slow-burning suspense...Crouch deftly avoids the obvious and builds up a very convincing air of menace in her extremely well-described portrait of family life becoming frayed at the edges with fatal results' -- Daily Mail 'A brilliant debut novel...A totally compelling new novel about a woman who helps her best friend after she experiences a tragedy in her life...Gripping stuff...Cuckoo is a riveting and spooky story that keeps your eyes locked in the page and leaves you feeling shaken and out of sorts' -- Heat
