What to expect
‘A terrifically twisty tale’ No.1 bestselling author, Valerie Keogh
It’s a lovely sunny day when Mia sees her ex-boyfriend on the street. But she knows that’s crazy. It can’t possibly be him. She knows that… because she killed him.
Only her best friend Carrie knew what Mia did that night. Where everything went wrong and Mia’s boyfriend attacked her, so she attacked him right back.
Carrie made the problem go away though. Like she always would for Mia. They’re best friends who’ve always stood up for each other. Now they just need to get on with their lives. Mia’s even met someone new – a man she thinks she could be with forever.
But now it looks like her ex is back. Alive and well. So either the two best friends are losing their minds, or somebody is lying…
An utterly gripping, unputdownable psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and The Perfect Marriage.
