In Her Defence

'A stunning debut that jumps deftly between courtroom thriller and a twisting, tender tale of lust, trust, friendship and betrayal' ERIN KELLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of He Said/She Said

'A haunting and twisty story of obsession, memory, and the blurred line between healing and harm' LIV CONSTANTINE, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

'A star-making debut - a potent courtroom drama packed with complex characters, deft psychological twists, and buttery prose' JULIA HEABERLIN, Sunday Times bestselling author of Black-Eyed Susans

Wealthy and famous, Anna Finbow stands in court, accusing therapist Jean Guest of brainwashing her daughter Mary to gain access to her trust fund.

Jean claims that the dark memories she's helped Mary uncover are real. That therapy has offered her a chance to finally heal from childhood trauma, and she would be better off away from her family's damaging influence.

I'll tell you now . . . you shouldn't believe either of them.

A fiercely intelligent psychological thriller of obsessive friendship, toxic families and the precarious nature of therapy, from an exceptional new talent.
