An Inconvenient Woman

'Packed with suspense and surprises, it is hard to put down' Daily Mail

'A remarkably polished first mystery' New York Times

'Beautifully written and suspenseful from the chilling opening to the end' James Patterson

SHE SAYS HE IS A KILLER. HE SAYS SHE IS DELUSIONAL. SOMEBODY IS LYING.

When Claire Fontaine learns that her ex-husband Simon is marrying again, to a woman with a teenage daughter, her blood runs cold. She is sure that years ago Simon molested her own daughter and was responsible for her mysterious death. She can't let him get away with it a second time. Vandalism, harassment; whatever it takes, Claire will expose him.

Simon doesn't know where Claire got this delusion from; her daughter's death was ruled a suicide, but she has always blamed herself - is she just lashing out? Wanting to protect his new fiancee, he hires Sloane Wilson, an ex-cop turned 'sin-eater', whose job it is to handle delicate cases without getting the police involved, to get Claire off his back.

Sloane must navigate the wreckage of Claire and Simon's marriage to discover the truth. Two people with conflicting stories and a whole lot of reasons to want to hurt each other. Is she crazy or is he manipulative? And can Sloane stay clear-headed enough to figure it out?

“A dark and riveting thriller with unexpected twists at every turn . I loved the two women at the heart of the story”

An Inconvenient Woman is beautifully, beautifully written and suspenseful from the chilling opening to the end - James Patterson, #1 international bestselling author

Absolutely stunning! A brilliant concept meets perfect execution ... a twisting thriller in which a looming tragedy and a horrific crime from the past are masterfully woven together. It's hard to believe that this is Buelens' first novel. I truly hope more are in the future - the near future - Jeffery Deaver, international bestselling author of the Lincoln Rhyme Thrillers

Addictive, immersive, unputdownable. The powerful women at the beating heart of this beautifully-wrought thriller give the old-school noir vibe a thoroughly modern energy. As deep and human as it is rocket- paced ... a slick, accomplished debut - Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The Stranger Inside

By turns lyrical and enraged, but always poignant, An Inconvenient Woman provides relentless thrills. Buelens will inevitably invite comparisons to Liane Moriarty and Gillian Flynn - a taut, gripping noir mystery that is as timely as it is ferocious - Lyndsay Faye, award-winning author of The Paragon Hotel

A new, sharp view of female reality. Sin Easter! What a fascinating concept. I could not put it down. - Anne Perry, bestselling author of Death in Focus
