Lexie Elliott grew up in Scotland, at the foot of the Highlands. She graduated from Oxford University, where she obtained a doctorate in theoretical physics. A keen sportswoman, she works in fund management in London, where she lives with her husband and two sons. The rest of her time is spent writing, or thinking about writing, and juggling family life and sport.
"The whip-smart Ailsa's descent into terror and confusion as the
Manse begins to have its effect on her is played out
beautifully...this manages to be both uncannily creepy and grounded
in the true horror of human evil."--The Guardian
"Elliott follows up her well-reviewed debut, The French Girl, with
an equally atmospheric novel that keeps the reader intrigued and
off-balance all the way through."--Booklist
"Begins with a Gothic hint that rapidly segues into a suspenseful
thriller with a breathless twist of denouement."--New York Journal
of Books
Praise for The French Girl

perfect dose of character development before unveiling eerie
details from her cast's past, ensuring that we're properly unnerved
when their lives begin to unravel."--The Associated Press
"A gripping mystery that delves into the past and the darker side
of friendships, this book will have you questioning everything you
think you know."--Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author
of The Perfect Stranger

novel, The French Girl. It comes with a warning, though, because

guessing until the end. First novelist Elliott has done a
phenomenal job of combining a whodunit with a Big Chill
