Publisher's summary
There is nothing as powerful as a mother’s love. But will Ellen’s put her whole family in danger?
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Other Passenger and Our House – now a major ITV series – comes a nail-biting story about a mother’s obsession with revenge.
‘I didn’t read The Heights, I inhaled it’ LISA JEWELL
Ellen Saint is just your average mum. Devoted to her family, she’s no different from any other mother who wants the best for her kids. But when her teenage son Lucas brings a new friend home, cracks start to appear in Ellen’s perfect family life.
Kieran Watts isn’t like Lucas. He’s rude, obnoxious and reckless, and Ellen can only watch in despair as her son falls deeper under his influence.
Then Ellen’s whole world implodes and she embarks on an obsessive need to get revenge.
There is nothing you won’t do for your children – even murder . . .
'Compelling, unexpected and beautifully written' JANE FALLON
‘Tense, provocative and devastatingly powerful’ TM LOGAN
'There’s nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly' JANE CORRY
'The Heights has everything you could possibly wish for – tragedy, obsession, revenge and, yes, love. Another finely-crafted masterpiece from Louise Candlish' BA PARIS

Critic reviews
'It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by Louise Candlish is the very definition of a “just one more chapter” novel. I devoured it. And it’s full of such great writing about the ferocity of maternal love'
(Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You)

‘Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down… this is an author at the top of her game’
(Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall)

'There’s nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly' (Jane Corry, author of The Lies We Tell)
'No one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise Candlish. I’d expected her to do this, and to provide a great sense of place, and twists that would have been rifling through the book to see how they’d been done. What I wasn’t expecting was that this thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended' (Sarah Vaughan, author of Little Disasters)

Absolutely Excellent
I loved this book, another great one from Louise Candlish. I did not see the last twist coming at all. Enjoyed the whole book and it is very well narrated.
