The Girl Before You, Nicola Rayner
‘The new GIRL ON THE TRAIN’ Observer
She was his.
She was perfect.
And then, she was gone.
Alice has always been haunted by the women from her husband’s past. As an MP and now a TV personality, George Bell’s reputation as a ladies’ man precedes him. But when Alice falls pregnant, her unease becomes an obsession.
And there’s one ex in particular she can’t get out of her head: a beautiful student George dated in his first year, who went missing before they finished university. Ruth.
When Alice sees a woman who looks just like Ruth, she can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to her disappearance than George has been telling her. But does she really want to know what her husband has been getting up to behind her back all these years?
An addictive and twisting psychological suspense that will have fans of Shari Lapena and Ruth Ware hooked.

MY REVIEW
I found this to be a slow starter but once I got into it I really enjoyed it.
This story is told through three points of view and changes from past to present. Usually I’m not keen on all the jumping around but the author made it work in this story.
Alice is married to George. She’s haunted by the disappearance of a girl called Ruth who was in George’s past. Was he to blame?
Although this didn’t grab me from the start I thought it was a good read. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.
