One of the Top 10 Lovereading Reader Review Panel Summer Read selections.
To say too much about this brilliant, clever, psychological thriller would be to risk giving some of its secrets away. Emily is leaving her husband and family to start a new life. As the story progresses Seskis steadily teases out the details of Emily’s life through short sharp narratives from her, her husband and her twin sister building to the shocking and impossible to guess twist. Riveting, taut and hugely enjoyable. ~ Sarah Broadhurst

Emily has a secret. No-one has ever guessed it. Will you? Tina Seskis' One Step Too Far is an absolutely unputdownable story of secrets and heartbreak.
