About this ebook

A lawyer gets an unsettling message twenty years after her lover’s death on 9/11, in this “fast-paced and emotional page-turner” by the author of The Dilemma (Christian White, bestselling author).

At last, I’ve found you. A shock, I’m sure. But in time, I’ll explain. Martin

Back in 2001, a young Lucie worked in New York City and was in love with Martin, who promised to leave his wife for her. Then he became one of the many victims of the terrorist attack of September 11.

Two decades later, Lucie has just joined the staff of a prestigious London law firm after a bitter separation. However, her attempt at a new start is derailed by a baffling hand-delivered note—signed Martin. Is her vivid imagination playing tricks? Did her long-lost lover have stage his own disappearance under the cover of that fateful day, or could it be that someone else is stalking her?

Filled with compelling characters and unsettling plot twists, spanning London, New York, and Sydney, A Voice in the Night is an addictive thriller about one woman’s quest to solve a mystery from the past and the thin line between hope and dread.

    For most of this novel I was planning on giving it 3 stars - Lucie was a strangely unlikeable heroine, who kept reaching out to the men in her life with her problems and then being offended when they tried to help her. She had appalling and indiscriminate taste in men and was somehow able to afford a cottage in Fulham on a salaried partner's wages. The solicitors' firm she worked for featured a receptionist who seemed to more or less manage the office, presumably while also answering the phone and manning the front desk. I was taking all that in my stride and then came the ending, which was extremely over the top and at the same time meant that in retrospect the whole plot was a lot of fuss over not very much.This should also be filed in the category of novels where a woman's home is continually interfered with while she is out, but she doesn't get the locks changed - why?
