Three women. Three secrets.

Claudia's life imploded ten years ago when she was convicted of the murder of her child. Now she has done the unthinkable and confessed to manslaughter in order to be granted parole - her only hope of finding out what really happened to Tilly.

Sara is married to Joe, Claudia's ex-husband, and they have a young child together. She finally has everything she ever wanted, but Claudia's release threatens the perfect life she has created.

Anna was the babysitter who let Claudia and Joe down on day their daughter disappeared. Married with a child of her own, Claudia's reappearance in her quiet cul-de-sac is an unwelcome surprise.

These three women are tied together in more ways than they realize. But only one of them is capable of killing.

I have no idea where I can start with reviewing this book which had me guessing from start to finish.

I wsa never sure which of the three female leads could be believed, and as things start to ramp up, I was enthralled by what I was finding out. 

What I think it could be safe to say is that the police weren't as thorough as they should have been during the initial investigation.

I can't even comment on the characters as my feelings towards them might sway your own opinions as you are reading. 

But suffice to say this is definitely up to Emma Curtis's normal high standards and it is a truly excellent tale of deception, intrigue and infatuation. 

Thank you to Corvus and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
