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!

Very Good Book!

I enjoyed the story. Very good story. Very good narration. For once a male narrator that does good female voices.

Almost dark humor

The emotion was genuine but there were also laugh out loud moments. A book for all ages.

insightful look at the ills of social media obsession

I liked everything except that I was able to figure out who DIDN'T do it fairly quickly; to me it seemed obvious and that was a little disappointing. But I was not able to figure out who did do it, until close to the end, so that was good. Excellent magnifying glass exposing how damaging social media can be if taken too seriously.

Could have been a 5 star review except...

I wanted to push Maggie off a cliff. Her constant whining and stupidity took away from the overall story. All the existential crisis in this book was a turn off. I even fast-forwared thru much of Maggie's dialog. The last 30 minutes absolutely saved this book.
