The Storm
Amanda Jennings
To the outside world Hannah married the perfect man. Behind the closed doors of their imposing home it’s a very different story. Nathan controls everything Hannah does. He chooses her clothes, checks her receipts, and keeps her passport locked away. But why does she let him? Years before, in the midst of a relentless storm, the tragic events of one night changed everything. And Hannah has been living with the consequences ever since. Keeping Nathan happy. Doing as she’s told.
But the past is about to catch up with them.
Set against the unforgiving backdrop of a Cornish fishing port in the ‘90s, this is a devastating exploration of the power of coercive control in a marriage where nothing is quite as it seems…

Mystery People
"The Storm is a classy and clever twist on the marriage-with-secrets thriller that I devoured in one sitting. Whatever you *think* may be going on at the start... You're wrong. [Amanda Jennings] does sinister frighteningly well."
Catherine Ryan Howard
"Suspenseful, beautifully written, and utterly compelling.”
Alice Feeney
"Amanda Jennings is a writer on the ascendant and The Storm is her best novel yet. This twisty, malevolent and gripping story of a controlling husband and his oddly compliant wife was virtually impossible to put down. The dark and craggy Cornwall backdrop is exquisitely drawn and the sense of foreboding that runs through the whole novel is masterfully done."
Lisa Jewell
"Beautifully written, chilling and absorbing."
