What did he do to ... The Girl Before You
ASK HIM NO QUESTIONS,
HE'LL TELL YOU NO LIES...
Alice has always been haunted by the women from her husbandโs past. As a politician and now a TV personality, George Bellโs reputation as a ladiesโ man precedes him. But when Alice falls pregnant, her unease becomes an obsession.
And thereโs one ex in particular she canโt get out of her head, a beautiful student who went missing before they finished university: Ruth.
When Alice thinks she see Ruth on a train, she canโt shake the feeling thereโs more to the disappearance than George has told her.
But does she really want to know what her husband has been up to behind her back all these years?
Because the truth might be worse than she could ever have imagined...
