The Tapes: A completely addictive psychological thriller

By Kerry Wilkinson

'If you're listening to this, I've been murdered.'

Eve is clearing her father's house when she finds an old cassette player and a box of tapes. Though grieving, she smiles at the spark of nostalgia.

One tape is labelled 'Eve' - in her mother, Angela's, scrawled handwriting. She disappeared for good more than ten years ago.

The tape whirrs. A voice crackles. 'My name is Angela'. Tears fill Eve's eyes at the familiar voice, at the thought this message is just for her. But the next words make her heart pound.

'If they say I'm missing, I'm not. If you're listening to this, I've been murdered.'

Desperate for answers, Eve has no one left to ask - only a box of tapes that could lead to the truth. But the more she listens, the more she realises she can never go to the police...

Because Eve's mother had her own secrets. But what if her killer is still out there? And what if Eve is next?

An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages late into the night Anyone who loves Shari Lapena, John Marrs or Lisa Jewell will be totally addicted.
