We are thrilled to be hosting bestselling British author Sophie Hannah for our first Stories & Sweets event, where she will be discussing her latest US mystery release, The Other Woman's House (Penguin, paperback, $15.00, on sale 6/26/12) and taking questions from the audience.
It's past midnight, but Connie Bowskill can't sleep. To pass time, she logs on to a real estate website in search of a particular house, one she is obsessed with for reasons she's too scared to even admit to herself. As she clicks through the virtual tour, she comes across a scene from a nightmare: a woman lying facedown on the living room floor in a pool of blood. But when she returns to show her husband, there is no body, no blood -- just a perfectly ordinary room. With plot twists that will keep readers up all night The Other Woman's House is another unforgettable story by a new master of the crime novel.
Sophie Hannah is the author of seven internationally bestselling and award-winning psychological thrillers - Little Face, The Truth-Teller's Lie, The Wrong Mother, The Dead Lie Down, The Cradle in the Grave, The Other Woman's House, and Kind of Cruel (British title - not available in the US yet). Her novels are published in 20 countries, with more foreign rights deals under negotiation. The Dead Lie Down is currently shortlisted for a Barry Award. In 2004, Sophie won first prize in the Daphne Du Maurier Festival Short Story Competition for her suspense story, "The Octopus Nest". She has also published five collections of poetry in the UK. Her fifth, Pessimism for Beginners, was shortlisted for the 2007 TS Eliot Award. Ms. Hannah currently lives with her husband and children in Cambridge, England.
