WE WERE INSEPARABLE. UNTIL THE DAY SHE KILLED MY SONS...

What's the worst thing your best friend could do to you?

Admittedly, it wasn't murder. A moment's carelessness, a tragic accident - and your two children are dead.

Living in a small island community, you can't escape the woman who destroyed your life. Each chance encounter is an agonizing reminder of what you've lost - your family, your future, your sanity.

How long before revenge becomes irresistible?

With no reason to go on living, why shouldn't you turn your darkest thoughts into deeds?

So now, what's the worst thing you can do to your best friend?

Critics Review

Creeps under your skin and doesn't let you go
PAULA HAWKINS, No.1 bestselling author of The Girl on the Train
Bolton's haunting storylines, vivid characters, and just plain great writing put her in the top tier of psychological thriller writers
LINWOOD BARCLAY
Addictive... leaves you guessing until the last line. This tear-jerker novel is one of the year's must reads
Daily Express
Claws at your heart. An ever creeping sense of dread rises from every page
Daily Mail
A well-crafted cat's cradle of lies and betrayals, but what makes this book special is Bolton's vivid depiction of the place itself, whether it be the wildlife or the claustrophobic nature of human existence on a small island.
Guardian
This tale will chill you to the bone
Sun
Achingly suspenseful . . . Bolton is a whizz at big finishes. Here her final chapters are like holiday fireworks going off, each kapow meant to be more spectacular than the last one
Washington Post
Her sharpest skills are in play . . . Crafty plotting
New York Times Book Review
I loved it! I stayed up entirely too late and completely ignored my family. It is the perfect thriller. A riveting portrait of small town secrets and big time betrayals. Friends, lovers, neighbours, everyone has something to hide . . .
LISA GARDNER
Faultless, brilliant . . . The tension racks up from page one and simply doesn't let up. This is absolutely superb!
