Annie comes home from a market trip with her young son, George, only to make a gruesome discovery. Could the perpetrator be the new lodger she and her husband, David, just rented their spare bedroom to?

Book Synopsis

Two marriages. Three little lies. Someone's going to die...

I hold my breath as my handsome husband walks through the door. I've planned the perfect surprise birthday party for him. Our friends are gathered and the champagne is flowing. But when I catch the look in his deep brown eyes, I realise I've got this horribly wrong.

Then I see her. Danielle Baines. She's the sort of ultra-polished woman who demands to be the centre of attention, with her salon-styled hair and diamonds glittering on her ring finger. I've never liked her. I know the feeling is mutual. So why is she here?

All evening my stomach is churning. I'm desperate to smooth things over with Aiden as I can't face another argument. I don't understand how our relationship got to this point. And I notice how careful he is to avoid Danielle...

Now it's the end of the party and the man I love is confessing a secret that shocks me to the core. But it's not what I was afraid of. It's much worse. He says we're in danger. He tells me we have to leave with our son. Turn our backs on the life we've built here and start again.

I thought I knew everything about my husband. But suddenly he feels like a stranger. Should I trust him?

From the million-copy bestselling author, this totally gripping psychological thriller will have you guessing until the last jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us.
