She lives in London with her family.\n\nellielevenson.com/about/\nRoom 706\n\n\nIf she knew it would end this way\, would it ever have begun?\n\nNobody knows she's checked into Room 706.\n\nCaught in the wrong place at precisely the worst time\, Kate must face the most confronting situation of her life - and discover what matters most - in this deeply suspenseful and thought-provoking debut novel.\n\nKate stretches her legs and turns on the TV while James washes away the traces of their morning. She watches in horror at the unfolding news: the hotel they are staying in has been taken under siege.\n\nShe should be making her way home\, working on appearing normal\, getting ready to re-enter family life with her loving husband Vic and their two adored children. Instead\, she is trapped somewhere she shouldn't be\, with a man she definitely doesn't love. How will she begin to tell Vic what she is doing here? If her body is found\, will it give up the secret of what she's been up to? She's been so careful hiding the evidence of her affair: write nothing down\, leave no trace. Will he begin to understand why?\n\nFor now\, Kate can only hide\, take a deep breath\, and reflect on the series of choices she's made that have brought her to this moment. What will her marriage and her life look like\, if she makes it out?\n\nRoom 706 is a heart-stopping\, original debut novel about an ordinary woman caught somewhere she shouldn't be when the worst happens. One that will linger long after you’ve turned the final page.\n\nOrder a copy of the book from bookshop.org.\n\n \nPraise for Room 706\n'A tense\, riveting read about the unpredictable ripple effects luck and choices can have'\n- Tracy Sierra\n\n'I could not stop reading'\n- Sarah Easter Collins\n\n'I devoured it... I haven't stopped thinking about it'\n- Jennie Godfrey\n\n'An ending that demands to be talked about'\n- Erin Kelly\n\n'Poignant\, heart-breaking and utterly human'\n- Joanna Cannon\n\n \n\n\n\n \nTony Fisher\n\n\nTony Fisher spent four decades behind the microphone\, keeping listeners company across the UK as a broadcaster and producer. From the BBC to commercial radio\, his voice has been heard in the North East\, Kent\, Surrey\, Sussex\, Essex\, Yorkshire and Worcestershire\, the latter also providing the backdrop for his debut novel\, Good Gone Bad.\n\nAn Honorary Doctor of the University of Essex and trustee of the Essex Book Festival\, Tony is also a self-confessed book addict\, devouring close to a hundred titles a year. He shares his passion through weekly book reviews on social media\, shining a light on authors from around the world and across every genre imaginable.\n\nHis debut novel\, Good Gone Bad\, introduces podcaster Danny Wade and the seemingly decent people who\, as Tony puts it\, have "done something bad." It's the first in what promises to be an addictive new thriller series.\n\nhttps://tonyfisherbooks.com/\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
