Publisher's summary

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

This is how a thriller should be

Brilliant pacing, beautiful writing and excellent narration. The story had lots of twists in the plot and humanity in the characters

Great story

Everything needed for that great story. Plus a human touch not seen many stories since.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!

Anna-Lou Weatherly has hooked me with this series and I'm sad the latest installment is over. Dan Riley is both flawed and charming, the characters are both flawed and believable and the stories are twisty enough to keep you guessing. Bravo ALM, I can't wait for the next one!!!

Intriguing story

I love Anna Lou Weatherly books. She never disappoints. Dan Riley is the best! I have read all her books and I love them

Entertaining

A little disappointing because it is predictable from the start, but still an entertaining book. Couldn’t stand the terms of endearment though…

Fantastic!

Although I had a feeling where the story was going, it was a fantastic ride to hear the how, what, where’s and the when’s! Always enjoy this author’s stories. I’m hooked!! The story is really interesting, and the performance is excellent!

Emotionally Gripping

As always, this author presents rich, well-rounded characters in an empathetic, holistic way. The storyline is interesting and engaging. The narrator, as always, is amazing, as well.

On the edge of my seat!

Great story that kept me guessing. Inside the main characters mind as she slowly unravels and yet stays sane.

SO GOOD!

I liked that I'd thought I had it figured out and then changed my mind on who I'd figured it out on...then was still shocked in other ways! Great listen and performance by the narrator!

Not My Favorite - Weak Main Character

If you’ve read or listened to enough books with “big twists” then you’ll pick this one out early, which makes a lot of the narrative exasperating. Still love Dan, wished there had been more content devoted to his character. This book, unlike others, was heavily weighted toward the other character perspective.
