In this family, everyone is telling lies.

Pete never wanted another child. Before baby Erin was born, they were happy. If Natalie hadn't got pregnant, he would never have done what he did.

Natalie knows things have been difficult since the surprise arrival of Erin. Life with Pete and their two other children - Emily and Zadie - has been balancing on a knife-edge.

Now their home is full of guests at a party Natalie didn't want to throw - and she's about to reach breaking point.

But so is her family.

Because everyone has a secret that they've been hiding and when Erin suddenly disappears everyone becomes a suspect.

Surely no one here would want to harm their baby? But after the events of the party there are plenty of people who would want to hurt Natalie.

Including her husband...©2025 M. J. Arlidge and Lisa Hall (P)2025 Orion Publishing Group Limited Crime Thrillers Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Wasn’t what I hoped for. Have read other books by the author and enjoyed them previously. Not this one tho.

I usually love books written by this author. However, this is not one of them. I was bored for a long time and almost gave the book back to Audible. I felt I ought to read it as it would get better and it did but it dragged on. I bought the book because of the author, sadly for me this didn’t work.

Disappointing

The story flowed from the first page to the last page. Totally gripping. This author never let's you down.

brilliant, never guessed at the culprit.

I have nothing against the narration, just again the story (or lack there of). Truly awful.
