It was amazing how much of a difference seeing Lawrence made, and not simply in the ways she would have expected. . . . She founded a wonderful new thrill to keep so vast a secret from her friend; Laura's natural inquisitiveness only made it that much more of a challenge, as though getting through an interview with her might somehow prepare Sarah for the more daunting task of concealing the affair from her husband and her therapist.– The Woman in the Park by Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist. This psychological thriller finds a Manhattan wife and mother at the center of a woman's disappearance from the park, but nothing is as it seems.
Co-author Tullan Holmqvist wrote about what it what like to collaborate with another writer on a novel, here on Holmqvist's author's blog.
The Woman in the Park is published by Beaufort Books, an independent publisher of fiction and non-fiction.
