Bigamie

Emma dreams of a life in a beautiful country house full of children, with a wonderful man by her side. After her husband's accident, however, she begins to fall into despair. In her desperation, she attends a bereavement support group, where she hopes to find solace among similarly afflicted people.
Reality surpasses her wildest fantasies. Among the bereaved, she finds not only her best friend, but also Sam, her soulmate. The relationship between them quickly gathers pace, and when Emma unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she finds herself in a whirlwind of events. They plan a fairytale future, moving to the countryside, building a new house and looking forward to the baby. Emma's perfect happiness is marred only by the strange events that haunt her. One day it's a purse tucked away in the back of the oven, the next it's a candle that sets fire to the window curtain. Is it due to Emma's pregnancy-related absent-mindedness, or are she and her baby in grave danger? And where does Sam disappear to every Thursday, and what does he do until his return on Sunday? Is he really snowed under with work and projects... or is there another woman behind it all?
Emma no longer knows what, and more importantly, who to believe. What if she's going mad? Or is her intuition warning her that not everything in her life is as it seems?
Rona Halsall's riveting thriller, full of shocking twists, will keep readers breathless until the very end.
