    About this audiobook

    The one obituary you never want to read—is your own.



    Laura Swallow is dead. A life cut tragically short, says the newspaper obituary. But that's a lie.



    Estate agent Laura did not die in a car accident. She is alive and well. At first, Laura thinks it's a sick joke. But multiple announcements of her death are followed by increasingly sinister real-life events.



    Already fragile, struggling to recover from a recent divorce, Laura is plunged into a living nightmare. Who can she trust? Her new lover? Her clients and work colleagues? What about her ex-husband and his smug fiancée? Can Laura even rely on her best friends?



    And why is it that Laura's present troubles are so tied up with her sister's sudden death all those years ago? But one thing Laura is sure of—someone out there wants her to suffer. Wants her gone.



    Forever.

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.
