Publisher's Summary

"A complex, creepy, and insidious novel about ambition." (The Guardian)

"Readers of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn will love it." (LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review)

"Fascinating, brilliant, creepy." (Good Housekeeping)

If you had the perfect life...how far would you go to protect it?

Professor Olivia Sweetman has worked hard to achieve the life of her dreams, with a high-flying career as a TV presenter and historian, three children, and a talented husband.

Only one other person knows that Olivia's perfect life is in fact a desperate tangle of lies: Vivian Tester, the socially awkward, middle-aged housekeeper of a Sussex manor who found the Victorian diary of a pioneering female surgeon on which Olivia's new biography is based.

In a gripping narrative that shifts between London, Sussex, and the idyllic South of France, Olivia and Vivian will learn knife-edged truths about themselves and discover just how far each will go to protect her reputation.

"A deliciously creepy novel fueled by fraud, greed, and violence . . . Fits right in with the best of the psychological thrillers on everyone's lists. Readers of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn will love it."—Library Journal (Starred Review)

"Wholly original and utterly unputdownable, The Night Visitor delivers a superb story of suspense with a personality all its own . . . Every book should be as fun to read as this one."—Crime by the Book

"Meticulously plotted suspense . . . Evocative writing heightens the sense of impending doom created by the tale's structure . . . Harrowing." —Publishers Weekly
