A man is dead. And only I know why.
As we sit drinking wine by the river and I gaze into his dark brown eyes, I know I have finally met the man of my dreams. I have been hurt before, but this time will be different.
He has a terrible past and everyone tells me he can’t be trusted, but they don’t know what I know. I know deep down that together we can overcome anything.
Because sure he has secrets, but who doesn’t?
But now a man is dead. And the police are knocking on my door.
Was trusting him the biggest mistake I could make…? I don’t know where to go or who to turn to. What if I am next?

I have always loved Sam Hepburn books. She writes thrilling stories with relatable characters who seem to find themselves tangled in some heap of a mess. She reveals just enough of the twisty plot as the story progresses and delivers a fabulous twisty punch at the end! Excellent read!
This addictive and gripping psychological thriller is perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.
