Summary

My husband’s lover. They said her death was a tragic accident. And I believed them … until now.

Carmen is happily married to Tom, a successful London lawyer and divorcee with three children. She is content to absorb the stresses of being a stepmother to teenagers and the stain of ‘second wife’.

Critics Review

Absolutely gripping, I raced through Undertow at the speed of knots - if you’ve got a journey to go on, an appointment to wait for, then pick it up and watch the time disappear

An immersing story, reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca … The “hidden currents” that keep us submerged in Undertow are not only those of the sea, but the fear and suspicion that swell catastrophically through the most intimate relationships * Observer *Absolutely gripping, I raced through Undertow - if you’ve got a journey to go on, an appointment to wait for, then pick it up and watch the time disappear * Rosamund Lupton, Richard and Judy bestselling author *A tense, gripping thriller that kept me turning the pages long into the night, desperate to know whom to trust * Tammy Cohen, author of When She Was Bad *The market is absolutely flooded with psychological thrillers at the moment, and it takes something really special to stand out. Take a bow, Elizabeth Heathcote, because this chilling, twisty and hugely atmospheric tale is standing head and shoulders above the rest … This slow-burn tale sneaks up and grabs you by the throat, right when you least it expect it. Brilliant! * Heat *Buckle up for this gripping psychological thriller * Marie Claire *Buckle up for this gripping psychological thriller * Marie Claire *
