About this book

With the startling twists of *Gone Girl* and the haunting emotional power of *Room*, a thrilling psychological suspense novel about twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can't leave behind. Cat lives in Los Angeles, far away from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As girls, the invented Mirrorland, a dark imaginary place under the pantry stairs, full of pirates, witches, and clowns, These days, Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home or the fact that El now lives there with her husband, Ross. But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy hidden corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone - El? - has left Cat clues in almost every room: a treasure hunt that leads right back to Mirrorland, where she knows the truth lies crouched and waiting... A twisty, dark, and brilliantly crafted thriller about love and betrayal, redemption and revenge, *Mirrorland* is a propulsive, page-turning debut about the power of imagination and the price of freedom.
