UNDERTOW

Book ID/图书代码: 03540016B90964

English Summary/英文概要: A heart-pounding psychological thriller for fans of Disclaimer and Apple Tree Yard.

My husband’s lover. They said her death was a tragic accident. And I believed them . . . until now.

Carmen is happily married to Tom, a successful London lawyer and divorcé with three children. She is content to absorb the stresses of being a stepmother to teenagers and the stain of ’second wife’. She knows she’ll always live in the shadow of another woman - not Tom’s first wife Laura, who is resolutely polite and determinedly respectable, but the lover that ended his first marriage: Zena. Zena who was shockingly beautiful. Zena who drowned swimming late one night.

But Carmen can overlook her husband’s dead mistress . . . until she starts to suspect that he might have been the person who killed her.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 对于《免责声明》和《苹果树院》的粉丝来说,是一部惊心的心理惊悚片。

我丈夫的情人。他们说她的死是一个悲惨事故。我相信他们. . .直到现在。

卡门幸福地嫁给了汤姆,一位离异带着三个孩子的成功的伦敦律师。她很满足于忍受成为青少年们的继母的压力和“第二妻子”的污点。她知道她会永远活在另一个女人的影子中——并不是汤姆的第一任妻子劳拉,而是一位非常礼貌和令人尊敬,但结束了他的第一次婚姻的情人:泽娜。泽娜令人惊讶地美丽。在一个深夜,溺亡在游泳池。

但是卡门可以忽视她丈夫死去的情人. . . 直到她开始怀疑他可能是那个杀了她的人。(LNL)

‘A tense, gripping thriller that kept me turning the pages long into the night, desperate to know whom to trust. My head ached from changing my mind so often’ Tammy Cohen
