Description
Emily and Elizabeth spend their childhood locked in a bedroom and terrorised by a mother who drinks too much and disappears for days. The identical twins are rescued by a family determined to be their saviours.
But there are some horrors love can't erase...
Elizabeth wakes in a hospital, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak. The last thing she remembers is finding Emily's body in their bathroom. Days before, she was falling in love and starting college. Now, she's surrounded by men who talk to themselves and women who pull out their eyebrows.
As she delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Emily's death, she discovers shocking secrets and holes in her memory that force her to remember what she's worked so hard to forget—the beatings, the blood, the special friends. Her life spins out of control at a terrifying speed as she desperately tries to unravel the psychological puzzle of her past before it's too late.
Phantom Limb is a character-driven mystery that begs to be read in a single sitting. The shocking and shattering conclusion will make you go back and read it again.
Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors, and The Girl With No Past.
"Dark suspense at its finest"... Thriller Beats
