I cast my eyes over the impressive meal I've cooked and the half-empty crystal wine glasses. As our guests smile graciously, I squeeze my husband's shoulder. It's vital I get his friends to like me. To believe this version of me. Because I'll do anything to stop them learning the truth... Ever since I met my handsome husband Dr Gabe Bonneville, I started playing the role of the perfect housewife. He works hard as a surgeon, so I look after our home, and throw elaborate dinner parties with champagne cocktails for his best friends Hugh and Anita. He's my safe place and my chance to have the family I've always wanted. I've managed to hide the mornings when I wake up and see a face in the shadows. I haven't told Gabe the truth about the woman who raised me, or told him about the therapy I've been getting so my secrets stay hidden in the dark. I haven't questioned his past so he doesn't ask about mine. I see the way Anita looks at him sometimes, but I'll never say a word. Until the letter arrives at the front door. The beautiful, expensive card shakes in my hand as I read the neat black handwriting. Someone knows I'm not just a housewife. And the lies I've told will be all that's left when I disappear... Fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and The Housemaid will be gripped by this unputdownable thriller and its non-stop twists and turns! A breathtaking ride from the very first chapter to the explosive ending. What readers are saying about Anna-Lou Weatherley: 'This story was AMAZING!... Will instantly have you hooked!

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len's twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river. Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...A printed pink silky scarf that doesn't belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it's scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood. As Maggie rejoins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she's enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl's murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She's wearing the scarf. An utterly addictive and twisty read about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end.
