Publisher's Summary

The moment she laid eyes on Heather Wisher, Tully knew this woman was going to destroy their lives.

Tully and Rachel are murderous when they discover their father has a new girlfriend. The fact that Heather is half his age isn't even the most shocking part. Stephen is still married to their mother, who is in a care facility with end-stage Alzheimer's disease.

Heather knows she has an uphill battle to win Tully and Rachel over, while carrying the burden of the secrets of her past. But, as it turns out, they are all hiding something.

The announcement of Stephen and Heather's engagement threatens to set off a family implosion, with old wounds and dark secrets finally being forced to the surface.

A garage full of stolen goods. An old hot-water bottle, stuffed with cash. A blood-soaked wedding. And that's only the beginning....

Critic Reviews

"At once familiar, wonderfully unpredictable and riveting. My kind of story." (Rosalie Ham)

"Completely compulsive. Sally Hepworth delivers with this stay-up-late one-more-chapter gem." (Jane Harper)

Great narration, clever story, Sally Hepworth rocks!
A story of how our past and present can be misremembered.

A fascinating story and beautiful performance.

I loved this book and the narration was fabulous! Sally has you empathising with all of the characters with their individual struggles telling the story from many of the characters perspectives.

Good... but...

Very entertaining and easy to listening to, a strong story that kept me interested. The ending however was slightly annoying and left me a little disatisfied. Otherwise, brilliant!

Great complex female characters

I really liked the way this book didn’t have all the answers. Life’s not black and white and neither is this book. It’s tempting to hate the main make character but it’s really refreshing that it’s not that straightforward for any of his victims. I really great read!

Easy binge but disappointing ending

Compelling and well-narrated. The ending was disappointing and felt rushed. The “resolution” at the end just felt glossed over for the sake of wrapping up the story.
