    "description": "Can her own dark secret set her free?\n\nDay one. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I slowly start to recognise my surroundings: the small hole in the door and a narrow window allowing only a small chink of light. The jewellery given to me by my loving husband is gone and I am wearing someone else\u2019s clothes. The room is exactly as the first woman described. And the second. And the third\u2026 It\u2019s then I know, I am the fifth woman to be taken.\n\nJust days before, I had interviewed the third victim for the local paper. Her story was the same as those before her: an ordinary woman, locked away for ten days then released with no explanation, and nothing \u2013 nothing she could think of \u2013 to link her to the others. Throughout the ordeal, her abductor stayed eerily silent.\n\nI tell myself I\u2019ll be safe; that I can brave the loneliness and survive just like the others. But as the days pass, I can\u2019t help thinking of the fourth victim who is still missing.\n\nAnd then I hear the voice coming through the door. \u2018You said everything would be fine. But it wasn\u2019t was it?\u2019 It is then that I realise. If I am to make it out alive, I need to revisit a dark secret of my own that I have spent a lifetime trying to forget.\n\nAn absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller with a truly brilliant twist, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, T.M. Logan and C.L. Taylor.\n",
