Scared to Breathe

A woman's dream home turns into a nightmare in a novel that's "a perfect blend of psychological thriller and gothic suspense" by the author of Blood Loss (Fictionophile).

When Tasha witnesses a stabbing at the train station in Luton, she is compelled to give evidence in court that leads to Dean Rigby being convicted. But when Dean's brother vows revenge, Tasha is afraid and no longer feels safe in her own home.

Tasha's partner, Reuben, hopes to marry her and start a family soon. But he's concerned about her state of mind and urges her to see a doctor

When Tasha is left a derelict country house by her birth father, she sees an opportunity to escape Luton and start a new life. After visiting Black Hollow Hall she sees it as the perfect opportunity to live a life without fear.

At first Tasha feels liberated from her troubles. The gardener, who is partially paralysed but employed to maintain the grounds of Black Hollow Hall, is welcoming. But soon she realises the Hall is not quite the idyll she imagined.

When Tasha discovers that a woman jumped to her death there years ago following the murder of her husband, strange events begin to take place and she fears for her safety. Has the Rigby family found her? Is someone trying to scare her into selling the house? Or is she suffering from paranoia as Reuben suggests?

As Tasha's sanity is put under pressure she begins to wonder if Black Hollow Hall is going to be her salvation or her undoing . . .
