TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT is a taut female-oriented psychological thriller, with a fantastic, conflicted psychotherapist protagonist, and some of the most conniving women you will ever meet!

Mia Cosgrove is a high-flying psychotherapist with a thriving practice, but when she receives a desperate phone call from her oldest friend, Lysette, she puts her London life on hold to rush to her side. A friend of Lysette’s, Sarah, has plunged to her death from the top of a multi-storey car park, a text message on her phone next to her, simply saying ‘I’m sorry’ with a single X, left unsent and unaddressed.

At first the police are convinced it’s a suicide, but when another death rocks the rural community Mia is asked to help the ramped-up investigation. Why are the close-knit group of mums who surrounded Sarah so reluctant to share what they knew about their beautiful, troubled friend? And how high a price will Mia pay for her determination to unearth the truth and discover what really happened?

This psychological thriller conveys the claustrophobic nature of village life; the controlling, toxic relationships that can grow out of a close community who are willing to protect their secrets at all costs. Mia’s work as a psychotherapist helps to unravel the closed group around her, and through her we’re drawn obsessively close to the mystery surrounding Sarah’s death.

This is Eleanor’s sixth book – but only the second in her new psychological suspense genre – the first being A DAUGHTER’S SECRET, 2015. She used to write fantastic women’s fiction. However, this is a completely new direction for her so I think you could present her under the name E.K. Moran, to avoid confusion.

 

Eleanor is Head of TV at the film and TV production company 42. She is currently an executive producer on a four part adaptation of Watership Down for the BBC and Netflix. Previous credits include Spooks, Being Human and a series of BBC biopics, including the award winning Enid, starring Helena Bonham Carter, and Shirley (a Shirley Bassey biopic, starring Ruth Negga). She is the author of six novels including A DAUGHTER’S SECRET (2015), and THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU (2013).
