A set of novels built on a single uncomfortable truth: the people closest to you are the ones most likely to hurt you. Flynn, Barclay, Coben and Sager each approach domestic threat from a different angle, but the effect is cumulative. Read these back-to-back, and ordinary life looks very different.
Harlan Coben, 'Missing You' - NYPD detective Kat Donovan finds her ex-fiancé on a dating website eighteen years after he vanished from her life.
Gillian Flynn, 'Gone Girl'- Nick Dunne's wife disappears on their fifth wedding anniversary in a novel that redefined domestic fiction.
Linwood Barclay, 'A Noise Downstairs' - a masterclass in domestic paranoia where the slow realisation that safety is an illusion arrives one perfectly paced chapter at a time.
Laura Lippman, 'Dream Girl' - Confined to his apartment after an accident, a novelist begins receiving calls from the woman he invented.
