Summary
Book one in a darkly compelling psychological thriller series, full of twists and turns, perfect for fans of Sister Sister by Sue Fortin and Into the Water by Paula Hawkins.
We all have our secrets; some are just darker than others.
Alex Devlin’s life changed forever 15 years ago when her sister Sasha's two small children were snatched in broad daylight. Little Harry’s body was found a few days later, but Millie’s remains were never discovered.
Now Jackie Wood, jailed as an accessory to the twins’ murder, has been released, her conviction quashed by the Appeal Court. Convinced Jackie can reveal where Millie is buried, Alex goes to meet her.
But the unexpected information Wood reveals shocks Alex to the core and threatens to uncover the dark secret she has managed to keep under wraps for the past 15 years. Because in the end, can we ever really know what is in the hearts of those closest to us?
Critic reviews
"A brilliant debut novel.... The complex, fascinating plot winds between two time zones as the heroine seeks to uncover the cause of a terrible family tragedy. Riley’s real gift lies in her creation of 100 per cent real characters." (Kate Rhodes, author of River of Souls)
"A dark tale set in a familiar world. Riley's characters are unexpected and yet completely believable, and this sinister and twisty tale will definitely stay with the reader for a long time." (Valentina Giambanco, author of The Gift of Darkness)
