I'm in your house. I'm your friend. You can trust me. A voice-driven, read-in-one-night suspense thriller now in paperback!

Smart, original and twisty – Liane Moriarty

Utterly gripping and unputdownable – Amy Tintera

Sloane Caraway is a liar.

They are harmless lies, she tells herself, to make her own life a bit more interesting.

So when she sees a child in tears in a playground one afternoon, she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee sting from his daughter’s foot.

With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for Jay and Violet Lockhart who have everything: a beautiful brownstone house, a daughter in private nursery school, and long summers on an idyllic island just off the coast of New York.

Sloane wants to be just like them. She wants their life, and she's prepared to lie about almost everything to get it.

But Sloane isn't the only one lying, and soon she begins to realise that all that's picture-perfect about her employers hides a much more dangerous truth...

Readers will find themselves racing through the final, jaw-dropping pages, desperate to gather every last clue of this astonishing web of lies – Katy Hays

Get ready for a rollercoaster of twists – Liv Constantine

Sharp, engaging, and unputdownable, I devoured this in one day! – Trisha Sakhlecha
