Twisty. Electrifying. Dark. The new offering from Pip Drysdale follows Zoe Ann Weiss, a struggling writer whose debut failed, whose potential boyfriend ghosted her, and whose mounting debt, dead-end job, and nagging literary agent are sending her spiralling. That is until the would-be boyfriend re-enters the scene. No longer an aspiring actor, Zach is a Hollywood heavyweight – so they start dating in secret. But such things don’t remain hidden for long, do they? Soon, everyone is aware of Zoe, including the stalker who is obsessed with Zach – now determined to re-enact the violent plot-points of Zoe’s first novel: with the author herself as the victim. Perfect for fans of fast-paced thrillers featuring brilliantly flawed women, The Close-Up will tantalise and tease until the end.
