From international bestselling author Dorothy Koomson, a gripping, thought-provoking novel that will appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult and Emma Donoghue, about a woman hellbent on uncovering the truth about her husband's last marriage and its tragic conclusion.

Libby has a nice life with a great job, a gorgeous husband and a big home by the sea. But she's becoming more unsure of Jack's feelings for her - and if he is over the mysterious death of Eve, his first wife.

When fate intervenes in their relationship, Libby decides to find out all she can about the man she hastily married and the seemingly perfect Eve.

Eventually Libby stumbles across some startling truths about Eve. As she begins to unearth more and more devastating secrets, Libby becomes frightened that she too will end up like the first woman Jack loved. . .

Dorothy Koomson wrote her first (unpublished) novel when she was 13 -- and has been making up stories ever since. As a journalist she has written for several publications including the Guardian, New Woman, and Cosmo. Her eight novels have all spent several weeks on the bestseller lists and have been translated into 30 languages across the world. Her seventh novel, The Ice Cream Girls, has also been adapted for television.

Reviews

"It's a great spin on a conventional romance novel - it's so gripping I couldn't put it down!"—Nicole Scherzinger on THE WOMAN HE LOVED BEFORE "An intricate tragedy of seduction and abuse, the loss of self and family, and the agonizing path to redemption and absolution. I couldn't put it down. Neither will you."—Antoinette Van Heugten, author of Saving Max on THE ICE CREAM GIRLS "A thought-provoking and moving tale about murder, betrayal and life-shattering secrets."—Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times bestselling author on THE ICE CREAM GIRLS "I truly enjoyed this suspenseful story filled with tragedy, but ending with major triumph. There were so many moments when I held my breath - the scenes were so vivid, I felt as if I was right there experiencing all of their pain and mind control. It was a story that I didn't want to put down, and I completely loved the ending. This is a writer that I will be sure to follow."—Victoria Christopher Murray, on THE ICE CREAM GIRLS "Goodnight, Beautiful was Cosmo's favourite book of 2008, so we were beyond excited when Dorothy Koomson's latest novel landed on our desk. Another moving and thought-provoking read, this lives up to expectations."—Cosmopolitan on THE ICE CREAM GIRLS Expand reviews
