Sarah Alderson's books will leave you breathless. One page and you'll be hooked.' FREIDA McFADDEN `Wow wow wow! Will keep you on the edge of your seat' ★★★★★ `I could not get enough of this book!'★★★★★ Two survivors. One killer? After narrowly escaping a serial killer, Isla has rebuilt her life. She has a devoted husband, two beautiful children, and a career helping other women survive the kind of trauma she knows all too well. The past is a locked box - until a girl is found with eerily familiar injuries, running down the verge of the very same highway where Isla was saved. These wounds were meant to have died with the man who gave them to her. But as Isla begins to unravel the girl's story, the lines between memory and reality blur. Is this a copycat? A cruel coincidence? Or could the man who once hunted her still be out there? To protect her family - and herself - Isla must confront the truth she buried. Because some monsters never really disappear. The Edge of the Woods is the unmissable new thriller from the USA Today bestseller, master of edge-of-your-seat reading and screenwriter of Netflix Original movie, The Weekend Away.
