'Wise, warm and beautifully written' – Daily Mail

'I absolutely loved this book and didn’t want it to end' – Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies

A romantic, suspenseful mystery, The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh is perfect for anyone who has ever waited for a phone call that didn't come . . .

Imagine you meet a man, spend seven glorious days together, and fall in love. And it’s mutual: you’ve never been so certain of anything. But after this whirlwind romance, he doesn’t call. You've been ghosted.

Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong – something must have happened, there must be a reason for his silence. What do you do when you finally discover you're right?

There is a reason – and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other . . .

The truth.

Full of twists and turns and perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, this is one love story that you won't want to miss.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. The main characters, Sarah and Eddie were very likeable, especially Eddie who was lovely, witty and very warm hearted and lovable. I just wanted the best outcome for them both. It was an unusual story with lots of twists and turns. Halfway through the book I realised that all was not as it seems and then it just got more interesting. The ending had me in tears - I won't say if they were tears of joy or tears of sorrow because I don't want to give anything away. Listen for yourself and enjoy!! Recommended!!

Brilliant Book!! Recommended!
