When Nina’s father dies, she inherits a dream vacation home in a tropical paradise – one she had no idea existed. Desperate to uncover why he hid such a big secret, she decides to visit.
Maria, once an ambitious medical student, is now a nanny for the super-rich. The money’s better, and so are the destinations – like this new assignment in the British Virgin Islands. But when her wards never show, Maria makes herself at home. There’s just one rule: Don’t go in the basement. But her curiosity might just get the better of her. And soon, she’ll wish her only worry was not getting paid.
As both women’s timelines intertwine, dark secrets start to unravel and one thing quickly becomes clear – nothing could have prepared them for what they are about to encounter.

An absolute rollercoaster of a read. It will leave you breathless
Unpredictable and deeply unsettling, a must-read
An inheritance puzzle turns sinister in this beguiling, atmospheric mystery. A seductive, expertly plotted page-turner that will give you the shivers
Look in the Mirror is an astonishing adrenaline rush of a novel, one that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Catherine Steadman has created an endlessly surprising puzzle box of a thriller in which one's most personal memories are used as tests- you fail and you die. The best novel I've read in ages
Smart and spine-tingling . . . I inhaled it
This book has it all: superb writing, exotic locations, mysterious academics, sinister puzzles, and brilliant characters. The perfect, unputdownable book club read. Irresistible!
I read Look in the Mirror in one breathless sitting. Utterly compelling, twisted, and original. I loved it!
Engaging, twisty and highly original
A gloriously, lushly evoked setting and an utter white-knuckle ride of a plot that took me into a heart of darkness. Catherine Steadman more than delivers on the brilliant twists and thrills I've come to expect from her writing, yet still rings the changes - this feels totally fresh and unique
Addictive, thrilling, intoxicating
Hypnotic and pulse-pounding, Look in the Mirror is both a dazzling puzzle-box of a thriller and an evocative exploration of trust, power, and how well we really know the people we love. I flew through its lush prose and intricate plot in 24 hours flat-and didn't want it to end!
Sinister, stylish and shocking. Look in the Mirror is the kind of twisting, twisted mystery I just adore
Exciting, fast-paced and terrifying. This really is a locked-room thriller that has readers holding their breath at the same time as the characters!
Be prepared for a goosebumps-inducing twist in the tale
Deliciously sinister
A great summer read
[A] splendidly creepy tale . . . Written with flair, and a touch of Hitchcock, it squeezes the imagination to breaking point - wonderful
A real page-turner
A stunningly original, utterly gripping and sinister gulp of a read
