Read sample ▶ Listen to a sample

She saw her neighbour carry a rug to his van at ten past two. Every word of it was a lie. TEN PAST TWO. A GREEN RUG. A QUARTER TO FOUR. Hannah Price doesn't sleep. So when her friend Leah vanishes from the house across the Close on Bonfire Night, Hannah is the perfect witness. From her landing window she saw Leah's husband Adam carry a rolled green rug out to his van in the middle of the night, and drive away. She tells the police the time on the landing clock. She tells them the fringe was swinging under the street light. Adam swears he never left the house. Then the rug turns up in a skip on the moor, with Leah's blood on it. There's just one problem. Hannah wasn't at the window. Everything she told the police was true, except the part that mattered. And the longer Adam sits in a prison cell waiting for a trial, the more Hannah starts to wonder who she was really protecting. Everything She Told the Police is a twisty domestic thriller told by three people: the witness, the husband and the one person nobody is looking for. • Short chapters, three narrators, and a twist you can go back and find the clues for. • A domestic thriller with no sexual content and no violence on the page. The danger is in what people believe. • Set in present-day Harrogate over one November. Perfect for readers of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Claire Douglas.
