The Girl Before You : HarperCollins UK : 9780008384845 : 0008384843 : 17 Dec 2019 : Alice has always been haunted by the women from her husband's past. As an MP and now a TV personality, George Bell's reputation as a ladies' man precedes him. But when Alice falls pregnant, her unease becomes an obsession. And there's one ex in particular she can't get out of her head: a beautiful student George dated in his first year, who went missing before they finished university. Ruth. When Alice sees a woman who looks just like Ruth, she can't shake the feeling that there's more to her disappearance than George has been telling her. But does she really want to know what her husband has been getting up to behind her back all these years? An addictive and twisting psychological suspense that will have fans of Shari Lapena and Ruth Ware hooked.
