'The Carer' tells the story of a modern-day female carer-companion who is stunningly beautiful in appearance, but whose mind is hideously cruel and calculating. Aided by her wicked Stepfather, Rebecca Thorneycroft likes nothing more than to identify with the elderly and the most vulnerable in our society. Her only prerequisite is that they are immensely rich, quite alone, and if she's extremely lucky...... suffering from dementia. The Carer will leave you with a lasting impression. Set against the quiet streets of a present-day Bristol, the novel fearlessly explores the deeply unsettling reality of elder exploitation-something that resonates far beyond fiction. Rebecca Thorneycroft is a chilling creation: calculating and, manipulative, and yet rooted in a background of trauma that adds nuance to her ruthless ambition. The story weaves together themes of psychological abuse, greed, isolation, and deceit-alongside compelling characters like DS Andy McDermott-that make The Carer not only an unputdownable thriller, but a mirror held up to some of society's most vulnerable corners. It's precisely this blend of social realism and tension-filled storytelling.
