'Tense, deceptive and darkly compelling - a brilliant debut' - T.M Logan
A story of obsession, love, and murder—and not the one you're expecting... Discover a gripping new thriller with a killer twist at its core.
When Claire surprises her fiancé, Noah, at work for their anniversary, she's the one who ends up being shocked to her core...
Because Noah left the company nine months ago, and she had no idea. How can she not have known?
Now he isn't answering her calls. He won't respond to her messages. He's disappeared.
As Claire desperately tries to find her fiancé, her world begins to shatter as the truth about who Noah really is starts to emerge.
And things are about to spiral dangerously out of control...
Praise for Cuckoo:
'Audaciously twisty and achingly tender' - Erin Kelly
'A debut with terrific pace and sinister character dynamics. At once beautifully unpredictable and unnerving. I loved it.' - L V Mathews
Cuckoo is an outrageous white-knuckle ride that packs one hell of a punch, but as the psychological journey unfolds, the truth is as heart-wrenching as it is shocking. Callie Kazumi is one to watch' - Alice Slater
