It was all happy families. Until she arrived…As the car pulls up to my husband Dominic’s family home the night before Christmas, I suppress a shudder. I’ve never felt welcome here. His parents make it clear I’m a poor comparison to his perfect first wife, Carla. But I’m determined to lean into the festive cheer.Until Dominic’s mother bustles into our bedroom and blindsides me: ‘You won’t mind, will you. Carla is coming for the holidays. She’s still one of the family, and she can’t get home because of the storm.’ My eyes widen – did she and Carla plan this on purpose? I know Dominic won’t stand up to his parents. Apart from marrying me, I guess – with my past, I wasn’t exactly what his family wanted. But then I see the smallest hint of satisfaction cross his face. Did he know about this too?When Carla arrives, arms laden with presents, her beautiful smile doesn’t fool me. And with the howling snowstorm promising days of ice-white isolation, we’re stuck here. And it’s quickly clear that not only does she want Dominic back, she wants me gone. Forever…But while we sip mulled wine and unwrap our gifts, carols merrily playing in the background, I hide a secret smile. None of them know that I’m far, far tougher than they give me credit for. I’ve survived before. And if I have to, I would kill to survive again, even if it is Christmas…This tense, twisted and utterly gripping festive psychological thriller is filled with deadly family secrets hiding in plain sight. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, The Housemaid and Lisa Jewell. *Previously published as His Ex-Wife*What readers are saying about The Night Before Christmas:‘?????+?… Holy cow! I mean Oh Wow!

The ALL NEW heart-pounding thriller from the BESTSELLING author of The Honeymoon, Gemma Rogers - A must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell!Every family has their secrets…No.6 Church Road was the Reilly family’s dream home. A recently renovated 3-storey house with just three occupants and more importantly a whole vacant top floor. So, there was plenty of space for one more. Right?They had no idea I was sleeping in their empty loft conversion, cohabiting with them, eating their food, using their water, heating and Wi-Fi. Basically living for free, but it wasn’t for the thrill, I had discovered 'phrogging'.It seemed like the perfect set-up, but when a local woman vanished, I suspected Jack Reilly was involved. You see I'd witnessed their illicit affair and Jack had a cast iron alibi, but I didn't believe it for one second.The secrets in Church Road wouldn’t stay hidden for long, all I had to do was watch, wait and hope I wouldn’t be discovered.A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.Praise for Gemma Rogers:??????????‘A super propulsive thriller spun from a super intriguing premise, that kept me up late into the night.’ - S.E.
