Blood Is Thicker is a fast-paced and twisty novel that will appeal to fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.

Claire Walters has a perfectly curated life. On camera, she is the face of Silverton's morning news while off camera, she has a successful husband, a promising teenage daughter, and a young son. After years of instability due to her sister's time in prison, Claire believes she has finally secured her family's safety. Until one night changes everything.

Backing into her driveway after a night out, Claire, her sister Viola, and her daughter Molly--all inebriated--strike something. When they realize it's a woman, they make a decision that will forever bind them in secrecy and guilt. Together, they conceal all evidence and vow to stay silent. In the days that follow, Silverton is gripped by news of a missing local meteorologist. Claire will do anything to protect her family, even reporting on the woman whose lifeless body she left in the woods.

But all three women are keeping secrets from each other and when somebody threatens to reveal what happened, Claire, Viola, and Molly must decide how far they are willing to go. When a devastating revelation transforms the accident into something much darker and blackmail strangles them in its grip, their fragile alliance begins to splinter.

With high-stakes and clever plotting, this thriller will hook its claws into readers everywhere.
