He thinks he’s safe up there.
But he’ll never be safe from you.
The
Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among the warehouses of
Shad Thames, its roof terrace so discreet you wouldn’t know it existed
if you weren't standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But
you are. And that’s when you see a man up there – a man you’d recognize
anywhere. He’s older now and his appearance has subtly changed, but
it’s definitely him.
Which makes no sense at all since you know he has been dead for over two years.
You know this for a fact.
Because you’re the one who killed him.
Reviews
“Candlish just gets better and better and better. I didn’t read The Heights, I inhaled it. Her sense of place is second to none and her attention to detail is forensic. She’s absolutely at the top of her game.”— LISA JEWELL, bestselling author of Invisible Girl
“No
one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise
Candlish. [A] thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief
would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising.
Highly recommended.”— SARAH VAUGHAN, author of Little Disasters
“Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down . . . This is an author at the top of her game.”— ERIN KELLY, author of Watch Her Fall
“Has
everything you could possibly wish for—tragedy, obsession, revenge and,
yes, love. Another finely-crafted masterpiece from Louise Candlish.”— B.A. PARIS, author of The Therapist
“There’s
nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise
Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly.”— JANE CORRY, author of The Lies We Tell
“It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by
Louise Candlish is the very definition of a ‘just one more chapter’
novel. I devoured it. And it’s full of such great writing about the
ferocity of maternal love.”— HANNAH BECKERMAN, author of If Only I Could Tell You
“Candlish is the queen of the sucker-punch twist.”— RUTH WARE, instant #1 bestselling author of One by One
Louise Candlish
Sunday Times bestselling author Louise Candlish was born in
Northumberland and grew up in the Midlands town of Northampton.
She studied English at University College London and has lived in the
capital ever since. She is the author of 14 novels, including the
thriller Our House, winner
of the British Book Awards 2019 Crime & Thriller Book of the Year
and shortlisted for several other awards. A #1 bestseller in paperback,
ebook and audiobook, it is soon to be a four-part ITV drama, produced by
Red Planet Pictures. Her new release The Other Passenger,
a Hitchcockian tale of adultery and double crossing set among the
Thames river commuters, is also in development for the screen. Louise's
first Richard & Judy Book Club pick, it has been longlisted for the
Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award 2021.
Louise lives in Herne Hill in South London with her husband, teenage daughter and fox-red Labrador, Bertie. Besides
books, the things she likes best are: coffee; TV; salted caramel;
tennis; lasagne; old heavy metal; 'The Archers' (but not the lockdown
monologues); white wine; Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (or, failing that, a
Starbar). Her favourite book is Madame Bovary.
