When Amanda goes over the cliffs, it’s a tragedy, not a mystery. Luckily, compassionate Gabe has developed a knack for talking people back from the edge while Pippa, watching from the window, calls the authorities. Only drawback? The cliffs that their house sits on act as a dark lure for people who want to take their own lives. Gabe and Pippa have settled into a beautiful cottage by the sea. In fact, she’s taking you right up to the edge-and over. It’s the set-up for dozens of domestic thrillers, but after just a few pages of Sally Hepworth’s The Soulmate, you’ll realize she’s taking you somewhere further. Then something shocking-something violent-happens, and what once looked so perfect reveals itself to be more complicated, messier. The beautiful couple with the perfect house, the perfect life, the perfect marriage.
