The Wolf in the Woods

📖 The Scoop

"A master storyteller and observer of people and relationships. . . . Humour, suspense and unexpected twists. I could not put this book down." -Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo

A couple tries to rekindle their relationship through a romantic weekend getaway . . . but everything goes awry. . . .

Struggling with their marriage, midlife empty-nesters Colleen and Andrew plan to spend a week in an isolated cottage-just the two of them. But with a landlord named Wolf who lives next door and who won't leave them alone, the couple start to feel like there are three people in their relationship.

Still, they are determined to make a valiant effort to overcome this marital crisis. However, with both of them engaging in illicit communications with others, they're starting off on shaky ground. And with Wolf's behaviour growing ever more unsettling, it's possible that leaving early would be a good idea. If only their car hadn't broken down . . .

"Full of cutting insights into the reality of long-term relationships but not at all short on heart-warming humour, The Wolf in the Woods is a sometimes sinister but tenderly told tale." -The Independent

"Dark and extremely funny." -Scots Magazine
