The husband is behind a frantic search for her while balancing his mental health.

“The story concludes and then begins again from the wife’s perspective. She is struggling in a sexist world and maybe doesn’t want to be found.”

He continued: “My intention is that the reader needs to determine who they believe but there’s a lot of twists throughout and spooky occurrences.”

Mathew’s proud of his Barry heritage he said: “My grandparents live in Barry so naturally I spend a lot of time in Barry because I have family there.”
