È un giorno di neve quando la macchina di Joe slitta sul ghiaccio e lo schianto contro un albero lo uccide sul colpo. La donna che è al suo fianco non può fare nulla per aiutarlo. Perché non avrebbe mai dovuto trovarsi lì, in quella macchina, accanto a quell'uomo che non è suo marito. Così davanti a Dorrie si spalanca l'abisso: cosa fare? Lasciare che la sua vita - la sua bambina, il suo matrimonio - vada in pezzi, oppure scendere da quella macchina, abbandonare l'uomo che ha amato, e continuare come se nulla fosse? In una frazione di secondo, d'istinto, Dorrie lascia la scena. D'altra parte è sempre stata una brava attrice, e in vita sua ha già recitato molte parti: la figlia devota, la moglie soddisfatta. Adesso, è pronta ad affrontare la performance più importante. Peccato che alcuni dettagli dell'incidente e della morte di Joe non convincano la polizia, e che la moglie di Joe, la donna da cui lui tornava a casa tutte le sere, sembri decisa ad andare fino in fondo. Come se sapesse più cose di quante lasci intendere... Dorrie ha paura. Che ne sarà della sua vita perfetta? Saprà essere un'attrice così brava da lasciare che la verità resti sepolta per sempre?

A stylish psychological thriller with the compelling intrigue of The Silent Wife and Turn of Mind and the white-knuckle pacing of Before I Go to Sleep—in which a woman suffering from bipolar disorder cannot remember if she murdered her friend. Dana Catrell is shocked when her neighbor Celia is brutally murdered. To Dana’s horror, she was the last person to see Celia alive. Suffering from mania, the result of her bipolar disorder, she has troubling holes in her memory, including what happened on the afternoon of Celia’s death. Her husband’s odd behavior and the probing of Detective Jack Moss create further complications as she searches for answers. The closer she comes to piecing together the shards of her broken memory, the more Dana falls apart. Is there a murderer lurking inside her . . . or is there one out there in the shadows of reality, waiting to strike again? A story of marriage, murder, and madness, The Pocket Wife explores the world through the foggy lens of a woman on the edge.

Dana Catrell grapples with feelings of insignificance in her marriage to Peter, whose small, dismissive actions leave her feeling trivial. Living a quiet life in a suburban setting near Manhattan, she spends her days tidying and reading, while missing her college-aged son. As she reflects on her relationship, the emotional distance grows, highlighting the impact of seemingly minor interactions that contribute to her sense of isolation and longing for a more meaningful connection.
Dana Catrell wakes from a drunken stupor in time to see an ambulance pull into her neighbour's house a few doors down. Celia Steinhauser has been murdered. But Dana was at her house only a few hours ago. Celia wanted to show her a photo - a photo of Dana's husband with another woman - and Dana has blank spots about what happened to the rest of the afternoon . . . This is a thriller that makes the reader question everything. Dana, we learn, has a history of mental illness and as she descends into another manic episode, the line between what actually happened and what she has imagined becomes blurred. A gripping domestic psychological thriller for fans of ASA Harrison's The Silent Wife and Sabine Durrant's Under Your Skin, The Pocket Wife will stay with you - as all good thrillers do - long after you've finished it.
In Evolution, Susan has taken inspiration from the vintage garments she studied and recreated in The Vintage Shetland Project and translated them into highly usable, modern garments; designed to be easy and fun to knit. Each design is modeled by Susan, who explores her own evolution after two surgeries as a result of breast cancer. The photos were taken by Susan herself, without a prosthesis, to hopefully normalize an often hidden result of such operations
