The Winters

Summary

HOW DO YOU REPLACE THE PERFECT WIFE?

Inspired by the classic novel Rebecca, The Winters is a riveting story about what happens when a family's ghosts resurface and threaten to upend everything.


After a whirlwind romance, a young woman returns to the opulent, secluded mansion of her new fiancé Max Winter - a wealthy senator and recent widower - and a life of luxury she's never known. But all is not as it appears at the Asherley estate. The house is steeped in the memory of Max's beautiful first wife Rebekah, who haunts the young woman's imagination and feeds her uncertainties, while his very alive teenage daughter Dani makes her life a living hell.

As the soon-to-be second Mrs. Winter grows more in love with Max, and more afraid of Dani, she is drawn deeper into the family's dark secrets - the kind of secrets that could kill her, too.

'A stylish, highly original and completely addictive take on du Maurier's Rebecca. Read it!' Shari Lapena, bestselling author of Someone We Know


'A sharp exercise in psychological suspense' Guardian


'
It's as beautifully written as it is (re)plotted and the updating of the characters is superb. Fabulous - and not just for Rebecca fans' Daily Mail
