Wide Awake

Wide Awake is one of those psychological thriller books with a twist at the very start: Claire Whitmore dies on a Tuesday and wakes up on her wedding morning with every memory intact.

She knows what her husband is and what he has planned. She knows about the woman in the house, the money being moved and the compound in the soup that will make her blindness permanent and her death look like decline.

She can’t confront him yet, not until she has everything. So Claire performs the blindness he expects. She maps the house he thinks she can’t see and builds the case piece by piece, notebook entry by notebook entry, vial by vial, in the dark.

She has eighteen months, a son to protect, her father’s money to recover and a marriage to take apart from the inside. He has no idea. A dark, methodical domestic thriller about justice built from scratch.
