Lasting Damage, Paperback/Sophie Hannah

Sophie Hannah's latest psychological suspense novel is her most commercial yet, as she creates such chilling atmosphere out of impossible situations in everyday contexts. Connie Bowskill is browsing a 'virtual tour' of a house for sale, when she finds herself looking at a woman lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the carpet in the living room. But when her husband comes to look, all he sees is a pristine beige carpet in a perfectly ordinary room.
