Summary

The twisty psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of After Anna and Seven Days

Everyone lies…but some lies are deadly.

For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she’s ever wanted – a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.

They’ll be perfect.

For Alfie, it couldn’t be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.

Because Alfie has plans for her. Plans which must never come to light. But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything.

Do not believe anything else. This book is gripping from beginning to end and I don’t say that often. There is not a dull moment, just suspense and humour throughout. You will not want to put it down!!!!

Just amazing!!!!!

This book started really well but just got a bit silly and by the end I couldn’t really care what happens to either of the main characters. Great promise but lost it’s way hallway through and then never quite picked itself back up. Shame!

Great hopes but lost its way...
