Summary
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 re-joins 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 story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

Brilliant Story and excellent Narrator
I have listened to several of Anna-Lou Weatherley’s books. This has been my favourite but what really brings the stories to life are James Lailey’s brilliant narrative. He is exceptional!

Brilliant and heartbreaking
No spoilers but if you’ve enjoyed the series so far I’m sure you will enjoy this. I had guessed who it was but it really didn’t matter tbh great company while multitasking can’t wait for the next. About to listen to another author off the back of James Laileys narration

Binged on all six
Really enjoyed these, in some ways quite simplistic, mostly guessing who quite early on. However, the convoluted way the author gets to the end is brilliant and always kicks in a few surprises along the way. Excellent narration. Hope there is another one soon

Classic from the series
Another classic from the detective series, I alway come back to her books and she always delivers, plus one of the best narrators covering these books
