The Plan – a novella
She’s done something terrible. And there’s no way out…
Clara Cade is rushing to a charity fashion show at her size-inclusive dress shop when, on a winding country road near the picturesque village of Slownes, her headlights catch something in the dark. A flash of metal, a bicycle… a sickening impact.
Then silence.
When she stops, there’s no one there. Only a twisted bike and a shattered mannequin lying in the road. But something about the scene feels very wrong.
The next morning, twelve-year-old Leo Burnham is missing.
And someone knows what Clara did.
As suspicion closes in, Clara is pulled into a living nightmare. To uncover the truth about Leo’s disappearance, she must untangle a secret. A secret someone is willing to kill for.
‘…an excellent psychological thriller from start to finish with a superb twist at the end and I did not see that coming! But, wow…’
‘I highly recommend this gripping novella. It’s highly entertaining and very addictive. I couldn’t put it down. Miranda Rijks once again creates a thriller that will suck you in and keep you guessing all the way to the shocking and satisfying conclusion.’
‘Miranda Rijks packs a lot of action into The Plan, a short psychological thriller about consequences. You feel Clara’s growing desperation and her husband Myles’ frustration with her refusal to go to the police. There are many twists to the plot and a conclusion that is a total surprise! 5 stars.’
