FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A razor-sharp psychological suspense about two librarians whose lives become dangerously intertwined, How Can I Help You explores the dark side of human nature and the dangerous pull of artistic obsession. No one knows Margos real name. Her colleagues and patrons at a small-town public library only know her middle-aged normalcy, congeniality and charm. They have no reason to suspect that she is, in fact, a former nurse with a trail of countless premature deaths in her wake. She has turned a new page, so to speak, and the library is her sanctuary, a place to quell old urges. That is, at least, until Patricia, a recent graduate and failed novelist, joins the library staff. Patricia quickly notices Margos subtly sinister edge and watches her carefully. When a patrons death in the library bathroom offers a hint of Margos mysterious past, Patricia cant resist digging deeper even as this new fixation becomes all-consuming.

Review A marvellously intense, read-in-one-sitting game of cat and mouse among the book stacks * Guardian *Openly indebted to Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith, this is a terrific two-hander... This makes for fine cat-and-mouse (or cat-and-cat?) suspense, but also an unsettling moral tale in which Patricias exploitation of her rivetingly grotesque subject - and Laura Simss - is called into question * Sunday Times *A fun and entertaining cat-and-mouse novel... a perfect book for when you just want to sit back, relax, and read about women behaving badly... youll fly through the pages * Glamour *Sims plumbs the depths of obsession and madness... deftly building the tension until the explosive ending * The Washington Post *Deliciously unsettling * New York Times (Best Thrillers of 2023) * Details ISBN0857308750 Author Laura Sims Pages 224 Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780857308757 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-07-25 Imprint Verve Books Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General UK Release Date 2024-07-25 ISBN-10 0857308750 Publisher Verve Books AU Release Date 2024-08-31 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
