The moment she laid eyes on Heather Wisher, Tully knew this woman was going to destroy their lives.

Tully and Rachel Aston are murderous when they discover their father has a new girlfriend. The fact that Heather is half his age isn't even the most shocking part. Stephen is still married to their mother, who is in a care facility with end-stage Alzheimer's disease.

Announcing his plan to divorce and then remarry, the news of Stephen and Heather's engagement sets a chain a family implosion. With their mother unable to speak for herself, Tully and Rachel are determined to get to the truth about their family's secrets and what this new woman really wants.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Smart, suspenseful, brimming with secrets. This is Sally Hepworth at her unputdownable best

At once familiar, wonderfully unpredictable and riveting. My kind of story

Completely compulsive. Sally Hepworth delivers with this stay-up-late one-more-chapter gem

This beauty I read in a morning... Expect a lot of secrets and revelations.

Another knockout - unputdownable and completely thrilling (Taylor Jenkins Reid, bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six)

[An] appealing domestic suspense novel from bestseller Hepworth [with a] fast-moving plot. This often funny and affecting outing should win Hepworth new fans

A warped tale [that] boasts Jane Harper's multilayered characters and Liane Moriarty's wealthy suburban world saturated with lies and deceit. With each domestic thriller, best-selling Hepworth shines brighter and draws in more readers

Exceptional

I simply could not put this book down. It was my first book by Sally Hepworth and I am a fan.

The narration was exceptional. Bravo.

Great entertainment

A good book to relax. A fun but slightly scary family drama and beautifully narrated.

A love of flaws

This novel is suspenseful in a subtle way, and so engaging, as human flaws are portrayed in a loving way. The narrators do an excellent job. I will check out other books by this author!
