The Other Woman

HE’S GOING TO LEAVE YOU.
LET’S SEE HOW SMUG YOU ARE THEN.

Shortly after Christmas, a message arrives at Sophie’s house. Perhaps she should ignore it, but she ignored the last one. And the one before that. Now it’s time to take action.

But when a simple plan to identify and confront the other woman goes drastically and violently wrong, Sophie must go to extreme lengths to keep her life and her family together – while never letting on her devastating secret.
