What to expect

A BRAND NEW pulse-pounding psychological thriller from M. A. Hunter ⚠️👀 If you like Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell then you will LOVE this! 📚🩸

'I loved this rollercoaster ride of a novel, full of unexpected twists and turns. Read it in one sitting!' - Jill Childs

How far would you go to keep your secrets buried?

Everyone has secrets they would prefer to keep buried, but that’s what makes me so good at what I do. I’ve always been able to sense when people are lying, be it through their body language or the way they speak. As a criminologist, I’ve made it my life’s mission to help those who’ve suffered miscarriages of justice appeal their wrongful convictions.

Thirty years ago, my 13-year-old sister was murdered and it felt like a part of me died with her. I wasn’t there when she needed me most, and I will never forgive myself. That’s what motivates me to help those who can’t help themselves.

But now someone is messing with me. They’re threatening to expose me if I don’t confess to my greatest secret. They want to ruin my reputation, but they don’t realise I won’t give up without a fight... or how far I will go to keep the truth hidden.
