Behind Shadows

Revised - Revamped - Refreshed in 2025

From the best-selling author of THE WATCHER and AN IMPOSSIBLE DILEMMA comes this twisty, jaw-dropping thriller.


Amanda Flynn's life is falling apart...

... her spineless cheating husband has taken her beloved children. Her paedophile father, who went to prison vowing revenge, has been abruptly released. And now, someone in the shadows is watching her every move.

When, one by one, her childhood abusers turn up dead, Amanda finds herself at the centre of several murder investigations-with no alibi, and a diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorder.

Abandoned, scared and fighting to clear her name as more and more damning evidence comes to light, Amanda begins to doubt her own sanity. Could she really be a brutal killer?

After his wife's tragic death, Detective Inspector Adam Stanley finds himself spiralling towards rock bottom.

Instead of quitting the force altogether, he is persuaded to relocate for a fresh start, but he hates everything about his new life. On the verge of throwing in the towel, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Amanda Flynn, the damaged and broken woman he is forced to investigate. Her vulnerability triggers a primal, deep-rooted need in him to protect her. Helping to fix her wounds might just help mend his own.

However, Amanda's troubles are only just beginning and soon they will both be caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

In this gripping thriller, Amanda and Adam must navigate their way through a tangled web of lies, deceit and betrayal to uncover the truth before it's too late. Will they be able to find the real killer and save Amanda from herself? Or will the past finally catch up with her and destroy everything she holds dear?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... I would love for this book to be turned into a television programme in the same vein as Prime Suspect, and look forward to reading the rest of the series. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Mr Marco Lewis

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️... I'm so happy I discovered this new writer and her work. This is a mystery where you keep THINKING you might know who the killer is - but then a new twist shows up, making your original theory obsolete. It's very exciting and suspenseful... I'm glad to hear there will be more stories about the detective who saves the day in this book, and that this is the first in what will be a whole series of books about him. He IS a really likable character. Netta Newbound is really talented and I can't wait to read more. Seramidis

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... the main character faces her deepest, darkest memories and feelings and some shocking events happen around her. She's a paradox and I was swept along in the crises she had to face and at the same time following the effects it was having on those around her. I liked the Detective and was intrigued with his involvement and how that developed, dealing with Amanda's case was never going to be straightforward, her story is intense. Sandra T
