I Died On A Tuesday by Jane Corry

After an early morning swim and with a bright future in publishing in London ahead of her, Janie White cycles home on the quiet streets of her Devon village. She misses her Mum, thought drowned in the same bay where Janie swims. She is torn between excitement for her new life and sadness at leaving her beloved Dad all alone. But then a van careens around a blind corner straight into Janie, and she is left for dead by the occupants. Her devastating injuries will destroy her life.

Twenty years later, the police arrive at the mansion of popular popstar, devoted family man and model citizen, Robbie Manning, placing him under arrest for the collision that nearly killed Janie White. Manning, having waited for this all these years, immediately pleads guilty. Is he telling the truth, or who is he trying to protect?

Vanessa and her husband, Detective Jack Grossmith, never had children. After his death from cancer, she takes a position as a witness service volunteer in the court system to find purpose in her life. Jack had dedicated himself to finding the person responsible for Janie’s injuries; Vanessa feels it her calling to act as Janie’s support person in the upcoming trial. But then she gets a letter signed “your loving grandson” and everything she has known, including what her late husband has told her, could all be lies. I Died On A Tuesday is a twisty-turny, keep-you-guessing psychological thriller, in which nothing is as it seems, and everyone has dark secrets ready to spill out, even the victim. Three disparate characters, three very different life stories collide and interweave in this new offering from internationally bestselling author Jane Corry.  And when you think everything has been revealed, there are yet more twists. This is a delicious and well-paced story of what lurks in the heart of small English villages, but it is no cozy mystery! Dark and gritty, I Died On A Tuesday is a must-read for fans of Ruth Ware, Paula Hawkins or Gillian Flynn.
