Summary

The unputdownable new thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of All Her Fault and No One Saw a Thing.

Would you lie for your child?

Ellen is at home with her son as a storm batters outside. She hears a knock at the door.

Would you hide evidence?

Two police officers stand outside in the rain. Ellen's husband and daughter are supposed to be driving back right now and there's been news of a car accident in the neighbourhood group chat. Have they been in a crash?

Would you accuse someone else?

The two officers step inside and walk through to the living room, trailing muddy footprints across the carpet.

Some parents would do anything…

They don't want to talk about a car accident. And no, this isn't some sort of mistake. They're here for something terrible. Something that will turn Ellen’s life upside down…

Critic Reviews

Praise for Andrea Mara
Spine-chilling, with stunning writing that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Andrea Mara never misses and this is no exception.
It’s all ominous chapter endings and artful dialogue that pours across the page like good prosecco.
Impossible to put down – a fast paced thriller with twists and turns around every corner.
I honestly inhaled this, couldn’t wait to get back to it. I think it’s Andrea’s best book yet. The twists just kept coming.'
Riveting…twisty and so full of secrets that you’ll be dying to discover the truth!
Ingenious plotting, brilliantly written, pacy and totally unpredictable, I devoured it over a weekend. This is Andrea Mara’s best book yet. Absolutely outstanding!
Punchy writing, strong characterisation and short chapters propel it to a dramatic, satisfying finale. Highly recommended.
The convincing storyline maintains real dread in a world of everyday domestic detail. Very enjoyable.
So clever. Tense, twisty, turny.
