The House on Herrick Row (en Inglés) - Adeel Javaid

The life she always wanted comes with one condition: she can never leave.

Glasgow, 1998. Twenty-five-year-old Lexie Kerr has spent seven years typing other people’s letters and waiting for her own life to begin. A prize weekend in London with her best friend, Sarah, is supposed to be a brief escape. Then she meets Clive Moston.

A wealthy architect with impeccable manners, Clive listens to her dreams and seems determined to make them real. Within weeks, Lexie has moved into his beautiful house, taken a job at his practice, and fallen in love. Sarah thinks it’s happening too fast. Lexie thinks she’s finally found where she belongs.

But there are questions Clive won’t answer. Money that never quite becomes hers. Stories that don’t survive a second telling.

Then Lexie overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear.

When a gallery robbery leaves a man dead, Clive knows exactly how to make her look guilty. Fleeing north with thirty pounds and nowhere she feels safe, Lexie must find a way home before he finds her.

And the friend who warned her is heading straight for his front door.

The House on Herrick Row is a tense, atmospheric psychological thriller about the seduction of wealth, the quiet mechanics of control, and a friendship that becomes a lifeline when love turns dangerous. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, B.A. Paris, and Claire Mackintosh.
