Synopsis

The invitation is anonymous. It doesn't say whose funeral I must attend. I don't want to go. But I have no choice if I want to keep my terrible secret safe...

As we gather by the graveside, I don't recognise anyone. I want to run, but the words on the invitation keep me frozen in place. I can't leave without discovering who sent it. And why.

And then I see the name on the gravestone: Alice Anderson. My blood turns to ice.

That's my name.

I haven't used it for three years. But somehow, someone here knows who I really am...

I don't know who the woman in the grave really is. But I have planned for this very moment, and I know exactly what's going to happen next...

This totally addictive page-turner from bestselling author Helen H. Durrant is perfect for fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl and The Perfect Marriage. Prepare to be hooked from the very first page.
