Cover Change - The Runaway Wife by Susy McPhee
Posted on Monday, July 27th, 2009 by ChloeThe cover for Susy McPhee’s second book The Runaway Wife has been changed since we last posted about it back in June. The new cover is much brighter and fun, although I think I still prefer the older one which matches the cover of her fantastic debut Husbands and Lies. Here’s the synopsis for The Runaway Wife, due out on 17th September:
“Marion Bishop’s life has fallen apart. Her daughter Hope was killed in a hit-and-run accident six months ago, and now Sam, her beloved husband, has walked out. Left alone with her grief, Marion has begun to contemplate the unthinkable. However, even her suicide plans go awry.
Firstly, she’s all out of pills, and then she’s mugged when she goes out to get more. In fact, it’s the mugging that wakes her up to the fact that she’s perhaps not quite so ready to die as she’d thought: an awkward realisation when you have a knife at your throat. When her mugger’s girlfriend intervenes in the attack, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the two women and Marion begins to contemplate a future. And what of Sam? He may have given up on their marriage but he hasn’t given up on Marion entirely.”
