What to expect

‘I was sucked in by the first page’ JANE CORRY ‘A gripping thriller perfect for avid fans of Ruth Ware’ Woman’s Own

The USA Today and #1 eBook bestseller of The Girl Who Lied and Sister Sister

SINCLAIR WIFE DEAD! HUSBAND CLEARED!

Police have ruled out suspicious circumstances in the investigation into the death of Elizabeth Sinclair, wife of charismatic entrepreneur Harry Sinclair, found drowned in the lake of the family’s holiday park.

It’s been two years since the Sinclair case closed but when reporter Steph Durham receives a tipoff that could give her the scoop of the year, she’s drawn deeper and deeper into the secretive Sinclair family.

Elizabeth’s death wasn’t a tragic accident. And the truth will come at a deadly price…

‘A gripping portrayal of a family caught on the wrong side of the law’ JANE CORRY
