What to expect

'YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP READING!' Reader Review

“You’re invited to my farewell party. I’ve got something to tell you before I die…”

One confession. One secret. Two scores to settle.

Heather has struggled with a secret her whole life: what happened to young Simon Eyre all those years ago.

Now, decades later, with children of her own, she sees the horrific event differently - and her own part in it.

It's time to tell all. But not everyone is going to be happy with her decision.

And she doesn’t realise that by freeing her own inner demons, she’s unleashing much worse secrets, and putting everyone at risk…

From bestselling author Ruby Speechley comes an unputdownable psychological thriller about secrets, lies and deception. Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Alice Feeney and Lisa Jewell
