Showing results for "The Roommate" in Crime Thrillers

Elena’s looking forward to a quiet Friday night curled up with her husband with a glass of wine and a new crime drama on TV. As the show starts, she realises, with a jolt of panic: every detail mirrors one horrific night she’s spent years trying to forget. Elena doesn’t believe in coincidences. Someone knows her secret—and she’ll lose everything if the truth comes out.

Donna’s had enough of her dead-end job in Chicago, her unhappy family life, and total lack of boyfriend. Then her grandmother leaves her this perfect turquoise-blue bungalow in the California hills. Things are finally looking up. And now she’s found the perfect roommate to help pay the bills. Joshua keeps the fridge stocked with delicious fresh food, they watch cooking shows together and stay up late sharing their deepest secrets. He’s not just a roommate, he’s a friend, and soon Donna can’t imagine life without him. But Donna can’t stop the doubts creeping in.

I was grateful for the time away to grieve and had slotted straight back in work but a surprise awaited my return.

Even my ex-Jayden was blinded by her outgoing personality and model looks.When I began to receive calls, photos and presents supposedly from Livvy, I became spooked.
