THE AMAZON KINDLE BESTSELLER!

One night changes her life forever... But the past won't let her go...

Harriet is trapped in an unhappy marriage to her abusive husband, Dan. She dreams of a life where she does not have to live in constant fear. One night, she finally summons the courage and makes the life-changing decision to leave him behind for good. She leaves with only a suitcase and a closely-guarded box she is terrified of anyone discovering...

Eighteen-months on, Harriet has her freedom. Or does she? She is living her lifelong dream of running a successful art gallery. She should be happy, but things are not what they appear. Her perfect world is plagued by crippling anxiety and disturbing nightmares. Dark secrets from her past threaten to tear her new world apart.

Why is she so terrified of her own family finding her? Can she ever truly escape the past?

Soon, Harriet will learn that running from her worst fears is a dangerous mistake and one that will have deadly consequences.

In Her Footsteps is a gripping psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist. Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, K.L. Slater, Lisa Hall, Sue Fortin and Laura Marshall.

    Not really sure about this book. For most of it I admit I would skip a lot of parts describing the countless panic attacks. The story in all was good and well worth reading over all.

    Ms. Harrow’s debut novel was a great read with an exciting twist. I didn’t see the surprise coming. When it was revealed, it knocked me back in my chair. Unbelievable! The author did a terrific job storytelling. The suspense was well presented. The plot flowed nice & easy to its conclusion. The writing was tightly woven and quite polished for a first-time author. The characters were believable & they moved through the novel as they would in real life. There were a few typos but all in all, the editing was very good. As far as Sophie goes, I disliked her greatly. I thought she was an awful human being, always trying to justify her life choices by blaming other people.
    The reader will make a good decision in purchasing this novel.

    Definitely held my interest- I kept waiting for what was going to happen next. It did drag some - there was too much detail in some places which made me skip a few pages. Overall not bad, and I would recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Twisty Psychological Thriller With Twists You Won't See Coming
    Reviewed in Canada on August 4, 2019
    Harriet is a woman living a nightmare of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her monster of a husband, Dan. When she finally gains the courage to flee, she lands in Coventry, and sets up a small business as a painter and gallery owner. But the Harriet we think we know isn't really the Harriet we've come to expect, and what at first seems like a simple story of a woman fleeing abuse turns out to be much more complicated. The author skillfully links 'our' Harriet to her former neighbour Sophie, a woman who lived across the hall from her when she was married to Dan. Through a series of elegantly-executed plot twists and turns, the lives of Harriet and Sophie dovetail with disastrous consequences as the violent, mentally unhinged Dan shows up to claim what he feels is rightfully his.
    This book kept me turning pages, as the story unfolded bit by bit in my imagination. As soon as I thought I knew where the story was going, it changed; this kept me off-balance and ramped up the narrative tension to an almost unbearable degree. A fantastic novel by an author of genuine talent, who knows how to combine disparate plot elements to create a compulsively-readable story you won't want to put down.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Twelve years of physical and mental abuse.
    Reviewed in Germany on July 29, 2018
    This story is too much like many others.
    The husband manipulates, controls and beats the wife...twelve year's long.
    Women are generally stronger emotionally and mentally then men.
    Hence the fact, that I couldn't continue reading this masochistic-type of story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars In her footsteps
    Reviewed in Spain on February 9, 2018
    Harriet disappoints her husband. It's what he regularly says as he beats her. For years Dan and Harriet Harper appear to be a happy couple. But Harriet is daring enough to leave after a severe beating. Softie, the woman in the flat opposite often hears how clumsy Harriet is. Walking into things. Injuring herself. After Harriet has been gone, the reader follows her transition. She moved to Coventry. She opens an art gallery........ until Dan thinks he's traced her and goes for his revenge. A brilliant twist in this story, Left me racing to the end to get to it's conclusion.
