'Unnerving, absorbing . . . Laurie is a miraculous creation . . . Piercingly human and darkly funny' Sunday Times
One ordinary morning, Laurie's husband disappears, leaving behind his phone and wallet. For weeks she tells no one, carrying on her cleaning job at the university, visiting her tricky, dementia-suffering father and holing up in her high-rise flat with a bottle to hand. When she finally reports him as missing, the police are suspicious. What took her so long?
Laurie can't fully explain her behaviour even to herself, or the strange presence she senses in the flat. Only when she looks back on the ensuing wreckage does she begin to understand, and see how she might repair the damage.

A different kind of ghosting!
While researching books in the genre of Gothic fiction, I was thrown back several times to this novel by Jenn Ashworth and decided to give it a try. However, as I expected some mysterious ghosty vibes I was more than surprised to learn that this is not at all Gothic fiction per se. We follow Laurie in her emotional confession that she has been left by her husband merely out of the blue without a note of goodbye or any explanation whatsoever as to where he went to and for how long he plans to stay away. It takes Laurie several weeks to admit to family, friends and the police that Mark has vanished without a trace which links the story to its title as Mark seems to simply have ghosted his wife. Even though Jenn Ashworth's literary approach is engaging, emphatic and original, I was a bit disappointed by the fact that I expected something completely different. What made up for that fact was the unexpected plot twist near the end of the book when the reader finds out why Laurie is so emotional, why Mark has left and why of all whys some rooms in their shared appartment are absolutely off-limits!
