The Last Six Days

When newly-single Milly Somerville decides to move to Madrid, she is dreaming of a glamorous lifestyle in the Spanish capital. But when strange things start happening in the apartment she is renting, her dream turns into a nightmare. In an unfamiliar environment, with no friends and without the language skills to tell anyone what is happening to her, Milly becomes increasingly disturbed by events she can’t explain and is powerless to stop. Will she uncover the apartment’s dark secrets before it’s too late? Or has her fate already been sealed? A compelling page-turner, Emma Warhurst’s debut novella will stay with you long after the final page.
