The Second Girl

One story. Two sides. A deadly secret waiting to be revealed

I grew up watching actress Isabelle Croft on TV. I idolized her beauty and the way she effortlessly juggled work and family life. So when I got the opportunity to write her memoir, I jumped at the chance.

But the moment I enter Isabelle’s imposing seafront home, I suspect that nothing is quite as it seems. Day after day, Isabelle sits in front of me, carefully watching everything I write, tapping her blood red fingernails on a glass of white wine, whilst giving details of her perfect life.

When I interview Isabelle’s too-charming husband, Linc, he tells me about her jealous outbursts. Every woman is a threat to Isabelle—even me.

I become close to her son, Lucas, who tells me his mother can’t be trusted. As he leans in closer and whispers in my ear, my heart pounds. I’m not the first writer hired to tell her story. The girl before me vanished and was never seen again.

What happened to the other girl? And if I get too close to the truth, will I make it out alive…

An absolutely jaw-dropping psychological thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, D.K. Hood. Fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose and Colleen Hoover will be hooked!
