Book Synopsis



It's been ten years since I saw my ex. Now his mother says I killed him...

The invitation to my ex-boyfriend's funeral came out of the blue. I haven't seen Jacob since an anonymous lie about me tore the two of us apart. But I can't miss my last chance to say goodbye.

When I pull open the door to the church, every pair of eyes in the room lands on me. His mother glares at me from the front pew. And the words she cries send chills down my spine...

'How dare you show your face here, Eva Walsh? You killed my son!'

I see the cold, angry stares and realise I've made a terrible mistake. Why would she say that? Is she holding onto the lie from all those years ago - is this her revenge?

His family have their suspicions. They don't know the truth - they never did.

But how did Jacob really die? Has the past finally come back to haunt me? And how far will I have to go to protect myself - before it's too late...?

An absolutely gripping, claustrophobic small-town psychological thriller that will get your heart pounding! Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and None of This Is True.
