Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The instant Sunday Times bestseller!


Get ready for one of the most gripping psychological thrillers of the year, perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins.

A tragic accident? Or murder?

A woman falls to her death from a London bank's twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace.

You're arrested for her murder.

You tell the police that you only met the victim the previous night at your office party. She was threatening to jump from the roof, but you talked her down.

You've got nothing to do with this tragedy.
You're clearly being framed.

So why do the police keep picking holes in your story?
And why doesn't your lawyer seem to believe you?


It soon becomes obvious that you're keeping secrets.

But who are you trying to protect? And why?

Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge. Get ready for one of the most twisty thrillers this year!

'Totally unpredictable. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough' Claire Douglas
'A deliciously clever book. Jaw-dropping. Absolutely outstanding' Andrea Mara
'Utterly gripping from first to last ... I guarantee you’ll be absolutely hooked.' The Guardian

Such a clever and gripping story! Deeply satisfying conclusion too. Absolutely loved this performance by Annabelle - loved her in The Split and The Serial Killer’s Wife. The perfect choice of actress to bring across the complex and heartfelt emotions.

Clever and gripping!

It was a bit laboured and actually not sure morally it’s too correct - not sure

Bit long winded but intriguing -

I enjoyed the narration and the first half had me hooked. However it didn’t make sense the way characters acted when it’s revealed what actually happened. They avoid one course of action to spare hurt but then do something that would likely haunt certain characters for life.

Silly twist
