I adored this. A beautifully written novel about the secrets within a marriage and the past coming back to haunt you.

A clever, provocative and twisting story of loyalty and lies, marriage and mystery. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.

Chris Whitaker

A tensely written, thoughtful thriller that will stay with you long after you’ve put it down.

Jennie Godfrey

A riveting and poignant read. Matthews has masterfully rendered a tale of love, death and betrayal.

Oyinkan Braithwaite

A spellbinding tale of deception and betrayal that asks the ultimate question: how well do we really know the ones we love? Fantastically twisty storytelling.

T.M. Logan

An exceptional read. Nail biting, and utterly addictive, fans of Lisa Jewell will love this.

A masterful feat of storytelling, with a kaleidoscopic plot that shifts your perspective with every turn of the page. No word of a lie – this is one of the best crime novels I’ve ever read.
