Description

"A world both familiar and nightmarish. Eerie, atmospheric and immediately gripping." Charlie Carroll, author of The Lip

You're on your own and you shouldn't be. Your partner is missing. The streets are empty. Even the birds have disappeared. What do you do?

It's 6:05am one Tuesday morning, and Lexi Peters is alone. Her partner, her friends, her neighbours have all vanished without a trace. The entire town is deserted. Gathering every ounce of courage, she sets out to explore the streets, seeking any sign of life. Her only companions are a coy black cat and a lurking fog that seems to follow her every step.

On the same morning, her partner Finn awakens to an empty house. Recalling the blazing argument they had the night before, he assumes Lexi has snuck off somewhere to cool down. But she doesn't return.

Time passes. Or not. Lexi is stranded on that Tuesday morning, while Finn hurtles through the years at increasing speed.

Can Lexi and Finn be reunited, or is it already too late?

Reviews

"An intriguing and haunting story about a woman, a man, and a decades-old mystery." Alison Moore, author of The Retreat

"A spooky and impossible situation that steals up on you until you're questioning your own life choices." Roz Morris, author of Ever Rest

"In this fresh twist on the empty world scenario, Lexi wakes up in a world where she is totally alone. In parallel, her boyfriend wakes to find she has inexplicably vanished. And thus their lives go on. As the characters explore, fight and try to understand their situations, we see how they have built them with their own actions, and that we - the readers - might easily find ourselves in lives that are not as we intended. From its beguiling opening to its heart-stopping conclusion, One Tuesday, Early gently leads us into a world both familiar and nightmarish. Eerie, atmospheric and immediately gripping, there's as much delight to be found in what's held back as there is in what's revealed. Told in gorgeous prose, Lexi and Finn's story twists and confounds, always defying expectation, and always a joy to read." Charlie Carroll, author of The Lip
