The police say it was suicide. Anna says it was murder. They're both wrong.

One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life - a shocking suicide carefully played out to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with her parents' deaths ever since.

Now with a young baby herself, Anna feels her mother's presence keenly and is determined to find out what really happened. But as she looks for answers, someone is trying to stop her. By digging up the past, she'll set in motion something that can't be stopped and will soon discover that sometimes it's safer to let things lie....

The stunning, twisty new psychological thriller from number one best seller Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go and I See You.

Critic Reviews

"It's phenomenal, super-twisty and, incredibly, even better than I Let You Go and I See You." (Jill Mansell)
"Brilliant. Tense and surprising but heartbreaking and sensitively written.... I expect no less from Clare but she seems to get better with each novel." (Gillian McAllister)
"One word - wow! Compelling, twisty and wickedly good, I loved it!" (Alice Feeney)

Great Story

Great story! This is the second book of Clare’s book that I have experienced. I use that term because I became so involved with the story and the characters I felt as if I was invested it. The story style of flipping between characters, some named, others not, was a wonderful way of creating tension and a desire to go on for just a bit longer. It’s not hard to convince yourself to go on.
The epilogue has a final twist that made me go back to Murray’s last chapter and be amazed by Clare’s word craft.
The beautiful relationship between Murray and Sarah, despite its difficulties, sheds a harsh light on the relationship of Anna’s parents. Mental health plays an important role in this book. The twists and turns in the plot make it a book that’s difficult to put down.
The narration was very well done and it was easy to recognise each character through the subtle changes in Gemma’s voice.

Stunned by the final twist
