From the author of Accidents Happen, The Hidden Girl, and The Playdate--called "a supremely accomplished debut thriller by a writer to watch" (Booklist, starred review)--comes a new, heart-pounding novel about a journalist set on discovering the identity of a stranger who has turned her life upside down.

When Grace and her childhood sweetheart Mac come home from their honeymoon in Thailand, they're shocked to find a dead body beside their pile of unopened wedding presents. The police are unable to ID the man, so it is assumed that he was a burglar who died from natural causes. Little do they know that evidence for a rather different story is hidden right beneath their apartment...

Three months later, Grace finds a card that, in place of well wishes, bears the message: "That man was Lucian Grabole." A newspaper reporter fearing for her job, Grace lands on an idea that could answer some questions, and save her career as well. She'll pitch a story to her boss called "Who was the man in my kitchen?"

Soon Grace is trekking across Europe, talking to strangers and piecing together clues as she tries to unravel the mystery of who Lucian Grabole was, and why he met such a macabre end. Suddenly, with two more deaths linked to the case, it becomes clear that Grabole most certainly did not die a natural death. And the answer to the mystery of who the killer is, and why, lies back in Grace's apartment...

Review:
"A deliciously disturbing read, with paranoia seeping from every page."--Alex Marwood

"Taut, chilling and utterly brilliant- my thriller of the year."--Lisa Jewell

"Louise Millar's Accidents Happen is everything I hope for in a suspenseful read - chilling, complex and intense. Millar's riveting novel, with its frightening premise and twists and turns kept me frantically turning pages late into the night."--Heather Gudenkauf "New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence "

"This seriously creepy psychological thriller set deep in the Suffolk countryside is Louise Millar's best book yet. With a twist I did not see coming, it will make urbanites dreaming of bucolic bliss think again."--Alex Marwood, bestselling author of The Wicked Girls and The Killer Next Door

"Exciting and impossible to put down--this beautifully-written thriller is packed full of danger, surprises and a heroine to root for."--Mark Edwards, Author of The Magpies

"An engrossing, exhilarating ride. Pacy, action-packed, brilliantly written and with THE HOTTEST leading male character *fans self*."--Tammy Cohen, Author of Dying for Christmas

"It does a really exciting thing, which is to take us from domestic noir to international thriller... fast paced, full of heart and with a central character who is discovering herself as she uncovers a labyrinthine international mystery."--Julia Crouch, Author of Cuckoo

ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS OF 2015: "Millar tells the story of Grace Scott, who goes on a chilling hunt to find the man's killer. A poignant spine-shivering moment occurs when she finds a clue pinned to a wedding gift in her own flat."--Marie Claire (UK)

"An eminently satisfying thriller."--Booklist

"From the land of Agatha Christie comes, instead, a suspense writer worthy of Patricia Highsmith."--Suspense Magazine
