Mommy's Boy

A mother’s shadow. A son’s obsession. A woman trapped between them.

When widowed Ellen Dalton marries enigmatic artist Stuart Drummond, she thinks she has found safety at last. Instead, she steps into a nightmare.

Drummond Lodge is grand, remote — and frozen in time. Every room whispers of Stuart’s mother, Isobel. And slowly Ellen realises Stuart is looking for a replacement. Soon she is sleeping in her bed. Wearing her clothes. And submitting to his vision of eternal devotion.

But the lodge is not just a home. It is a mausoleum. Cut off from the outside world, watched by Stuart and his cold-eyed housekeeper, Ellen must protect her daughters as his obsession spirals into madness.

As winter closes in, Ellen faces a terrifying choice. Because Stuart’s obsession is more dangerous than hate and a son’s devotion never dies…

You can run from Drummond Lodge. But you cannot hide from him…

A compulsively readable thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, and Sarah Pekkanen.
