    From the stranger in the car, to the madman at her door...Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell  ‘It’s a shocking thriller that grabs at your emotions on every page! Loved it.’ bestselling author Lauren North  
    The day my path crossed with Simon Fox I thought I’d already lost everything but then he almost ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes. The men in my life had undermined me for too long. Enough was enough. Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better. Wrong. Very wrong... I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with.  He showed me just how much I still had left to lose. Soon I was battling for my home, family and life.Praise for Gemma Rogers:

    🐔 Farmer Clara McCluck's free-range egg business is scrambling when her prize-winning rooster is found dead under mysterious circumstances in her supposedly haunted henhouse. The local police blame foxes, but Clara knows better—especially when the ghost of her great-grandmother, the original Mrs. McCluck, appears with a warning about "foul play." Teaming up with her spectral ancestor and her unusually intelligent chickens, Clara discovers someone is trying to sabotage her farm to make way for a commercial poultry operation. From tampered feed to suspicious footprints in the coop, every clue points to someone in their small farming community. But with a dozen potential suspects—including a rival farmer, a pushy land developer, and the strangely nervous new veterinarian—Clara and her ghostly partner must work around the clock to crack the case. As they get closer to the truth, the living Mrs. McCluck realizes the ghost might be hiding secrets of her own, and the chickens might be the only witnesses who know what really happened that fateful night in the henhouse.
