Catherine has been enjoying the single life for long enough to know a good catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic, spontaneous-Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each, in turn, falls under his spell.
But there is a darker side to Lee. His erratic, controlling and sometimes frightening behaviour means that Catherine is increasingly isolated. Driven into the darkest corner of her world, and trusting no one, she plans a meticulous escape. Four years later, struggling to overcome her demons, Catherine dares to believe she might be safe from harm. Until one phone call changes everything.
Elizabeth Haynes is also the author of Revenge of the Tide, Human Remains, Never Alone and The Murder of Harriet Monckton.

Originally read in 2012 and rated 5.0.
Into the Darkest Corner was a totally amazing, basically perfect thrill ride through the life of a woman with severe anxiety and OCD! I adored every single thing about this book! Catherine was a fantastic (if unreliable) main character and her issues were something I could honestly identify with as someone with anxiety also. The story is not truly horror, but the suspense kept me up late at night and (if we're being honest) jumping at shadows when I read in the dark. It isn't often that I read and love a contemporary thriller, but this one really surprised me! This one will remain on my shelf for a future re-read for sure!
