Description

Someone's mind is playing tricks ... but whose? Lynn Waites gave up the job she loved when she married Ed, the love of her life, but it was worth it for the happy years they enjoyed together. Now, ten years on, Ed has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, and things start to happen; things more sinister than missing keys and lost words. As some memories are forgotten, other, long buried, begin to surface ... and Lynn's perfect world begins to crumble. But is it Ed's mind playing tricks, or hers...?

Author Biography

Over her eighteen-year writing career, Louise has had books out via pretty much every publishing model there is, from deals with major traditional publishing houses (Transworld and Harper Collins), to digital-only (the Amazon-owned Thomas & Mercer) and self-publishing - she and co-author Mark Edwards were the first UK indie-published authors to hit the No. 1 spot on Amazon back in 2011. She has had eleven novels published in total, five solo and six co-written, a combination of psychological thrillers, police procedurals and contemporary fiction. Louise lives in South-West London and is a proud member of two female crime-writing collectives, The Slice Girls and Killer Women.

Reviews

"A brilliant tale of deception with a twist that took my breath away." --Mark Edwards, author, Follow You Home "One of the twistiest books I've read for a while. Completely gripping." --Cass Green, author, In a Cottage in a Wood "A disturbing, brilliant tale of lies and psychological manipulation, with a gutsy, believable heroine." --Kate Rhodes, author, Crossbones Yard "The Old You provoked an uneasy feeling inside me from beginning to end, as I worried about what was to come, yet I couldn't tear myself away from it. I wasn't sure what was real and what wasn't, whether everything was as it seemed or something more sinister was going on . . . Filled with jaw-dropping revelations, I had no idea where the book was heading and I was certainly surprised as I followed this twisty rollercoaster journey." --Off-the-Shelf Books "If I'm looking a bit sleep-deprived right now it's because this one is keeping me up way past my bedtime. A really original and compelling story from Louise Voss that will keep you turning the pages." --Howard Linskey, author, The Drop "Grippy and twisty, this one will keep you guessing." --Melanie McGrath, author, The Long Exile "The way the plot unfolds, unfolds--and unfolds again--is brilliant. Poignant, clever and terrifically tense." --William Shaw, author, The Birdwatcher "The Old You is a tense, super-twisty, well-written page-turner . . . Fab read." --Amanda Jennings, author, In Her Wake "A twisty, thrilling read with engaging and complex characters!" --Sarah Ward, author, In Bitter Chill "I loved the subtlety and style of Louise Voss's writing; the slow reveals and hints at the darkness to come in The Old You will make it impossible to put down!" --Sarah Pinborough, author, Behind Her Eyes
