Mary is the woman in the cabin int he Scottish highlands with her devoted husband Cal, it all seems picture perfect, living off the grid in a 1950's martial set up, until memories start coming back to Mary that this isn't where she belongs, and isn't her choice to be this isolated, her fears are confirmed when she finds letters from the previous Mary addressed 'to the next woman', these events are exacerbated by Cal noticing Mary getting a few wrinkles and no longer being the 'perfect' wife.

Mary then tries to initiate a plan for her escape.

This book had me gripped, it's a fast paced thriller, which keeps you guessing and hooked

Trigger warning:  contains physical and mental abuse, manipulation and sexual assault.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.
