So when the girl next door, sixteen-year-old Clare Edwards, is found murdered, Jane knows she must first protect her family.

Every marriage has a few white lies and hers is no exception. Jane’s worked hard to cover up her dark secret from all those years ago – and she’ll do anything to keep it hidden…

A Page Turner

Kept me gripped until the end. Unravelled quite quickly towards the end but a very good page turner.

Hated the Ending - NO SPOILERS

Performance was excellent.

The story was quite interesting but the ending seemed to have some plot holes that were irritating and added to my disappointment in the final outcome which spoilt the book for me.

Brilliant!

This is well written, with strong characters and a gripping storyline. I’m surprised by the negative reviews. I guess some didn’t stick with it long enough for the story to develop. I loved it!

Intriguing

This book was super hard to follow - very dark at times which I struggled with but didn't see the ending that came out of it at all... A lot of twists and turns

Wet weekend

Could have been so much more! Guessed whodunnit early on and suffered the rest. Great narration though.

Pretty boring and predictable.

Was waiting for the twist that never happened. Narration great. And an ok book to pass the time but nothing ground breaking
