'DELICIOUS' STYLIST 'BINGEWORTHY' NITA PROSE 'RAZOR-SHARP' ABIGAIL DEAN

Alice only meant to stop the intruder. She didn't mean to hit him so hard. She didn't mean to kill him. The police conclude that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed - only to find she is unable to come clean about who she really is.

Without meaning to, Alice finds herself drawn more and more into Linda's world, struggling to balance her growing obsession with starting a prestigious new job, caring for her daughter and being there for her husband. But as Alice learns more about Ezra - and finds herself uncomfortably enmeshed with his family - she begins to wonder whether she really has the full picture about why he came to her house that day.

This latest simmering suspense novel from the internationally bestselling Katherine Faulkner is an unputdownable must-read that will have you hooked from the first twist to the last.
