Fatal Attraction Smith, Carol

A woman's life unravels when obsession, betrayal, and buried secrets collide. Carol Smith weaves a gripping psychological thriller about the dangerous pull of desire and the price of trusting the wrong person. Set against the backdrop of seemingly ordinary lives, this is a story about how quickly stability can shatter when someone refuses to let go. Smith has a gift for escalating tension — each chapter tightens the noose. The characters feel uncomfortably real, their choices both understandable and maddening. If you love domestic suspense that keeps you second-guessing every motive, this delivers. Perfect for fans of Nicci French or anyone who enjoyed *The Girl on the Train* but wanted sharper writing and less wine.
