Tangerine

'Girl on a Train meets The Talented Mr Ripley under the Moroccan sun. Unputdownable' The Times The perfect read for fans of Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith; set in 1950s Morocco; Tangerine is a gripping psychological literary thriller. The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. After the horrific accident at Bennington; the two friends - once inseparable roommates - haven't spoken in over a year. But Lucy is standing there; trying to make things right. Perhaps Alice should be happy. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco; too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat. Lucy; always fearless and independent; helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country. But soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice - she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice's husband; John; goes missing; and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend; her decision to ever come to Tangier; and her very own state of mind. Tangerine is an extraordinary debut; so tightly wound; so evocative of 1950s Tangier; and so cleverly plotted that it will leave you absolutely breathless.
