Description
Winner of the TW Thriller Award and an International Book Awards winner, What Lies Between Us is a dark psychological thriller from John Marrs about secrets, punishment and a mother-daughter relationship twisted by years of resentment.
Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.
The two women have shared the same house for years, but its secrets are not buried safely in the past. Every other night, Nina and Maggie eat dinner together. Afterwards, Nina helps Maggie back to her attic room and fastens the heavy chain that keeps her there.
To Nina, Maggie is paying for things that can never be forgiven. But there are parts of their shared past that Nina does not understand, and Maggie is determined to keep those truths hidden.
As long-held secrets begin to surface, the line between victim and villain becomes increasingly difficult to untangle. In this house, the truth may be far more dangerous than the lies that have kept them together.
