Blind Spot

'How can you say things like this? How can you be so blind?' Since they were kids, Edie, Jake and Ryan have been the closest of friends. It's been the three of them against the world. Edie thought the bonds between them were unbreakable. So when Jake is brutally murdered and Ryan accused of the crime, her world is shattered. Edie is alone for the first time in years, living in the remote house that she and Jake shared. She is grief-stricken and afraid - with good reason. Because someone is watching. Someone has been waiting for this moment. Now that Edie is alone, the past she tried so hard to leave behind is about to catch up with her... Praise for Paula Hawkins: ' Twists and turns galore . . . Paula Hawkins is a genius .' Lisa Jewell ' Gripping and intriguing .' S J Watson 'Utterly compelling .' Daily Mail

Goodbye, Creekwood? The pull to leave Creekwood and join my best friends continues to grow stronger with each day but the thread holding me here is tight, too...maybe tighter. When my past finally collides with my present, revealing a blind spot I never knew I had, it only makes my choice that much harder. I thought I could add to my perfectly calculated life without upsetting the outcome. I thought I could protect the people I love most. I was wrong. So wrong. And now, somebody's gotta pay. With everything I've ever cared about on the line-including her-I can't afford to lose.
