The Last Housewife

'Will haunt your dreams and change the way you view the world.' Julie Clark A secret cult. An unsolved murder. How far would you go to discover the truth? While at college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her friends met a man who seduced them with lies about the world and brought them under his thrall. By senior year, Shay and her friend Laurel were the only ones who managed to escape. Eight years later, Shay has built a new life. But when she hears the horrifying news of Laurel's death, she realises the past she thought she buried is still very much alive. Shay goes back to the place to which she vowed never to return. As she follows the threads of Laurel's life, she's pulled once again into a dark, seductive world, where wealth and privilege shield brutal philosophies that feel all too familiar. And this time, there may be no turning back... 'I barely breathed through most of this engrossing story, so consider yourself warned.' Good Housekeeping
