What to expect
Sarah's world has descended into a nightmare. Her only hope of moving on is to find out the truth of what happened, and make sure the guilty are brought to justice. She is haunted by her dad's death, consumed by her grief and the memories of a cruel day that changed her life forever... she doesn't even know who she is anymore. But the future holds some hope for Sarah, as she tries to move forward.
Nicola's future is not looking so hopeful. Since her husband died, the secret she's been keeping from her family - especially her daughter, Sarah - is eating away at her. The past is catching up with her, and the consequences will be devastating.
A story about family, and of obsession, revenge and identity.

A brilliantly twisty tale of family secrets and betrayals which kept me guessing at every turn. Clever and creepy and difficult to put down.

Full of such promise that I wouldn't bet against Eames's career in domestic suspense lasting as long as Nicci French's.
Sunday Express, S Magazine
-
This suspenseful story will keep you guessing right up to the last page.
My Weekly
-
Just because you're related, doesn't mean you'll have an unbreakable bond - something thrown into sharp relief by the distinctive characters, tight plotting and spine-tingling reveal that comes at the end of Jessica Eames' compelling debut.
Woman's Weekly
