This is a compulsive, irresistible retelling of Jane Eyre with a modern, noir twist - and wow, does it work' Samantha Downing, bestselling author of My Lovely Wife You never know what secrets are hiding behind closed doors... Whe...n Jane, a broke dog-walker newly arrived in town, meets Eddie Rochester, she can't believe her luck. Eddie is handsome, rich and lives alone in an opulent mansion since his beloved wife drowned in a boating accident a year ago. Eddie can give Jane everything she's always wanted: stability, acceptance, and a picture-perfect life. But what Jane doesn't know is that Eddie is keeping a secret - a big secret. And when the truth comes out, the consequences could be far deadlier than anyone could have imagined...

'A sharp, fresh twist on a classic in this darkly funny, suspenseful story of murder, ambition, and love. Creepy and fast-paced...kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the very last' bestselling author Megan Miranda 'The Wife Upstairs is everything I'd hoped-sharp, smart, tricky and fast-paced' Kelly Harms, author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler
