A dark, delicious thriller. I loved it.Louise O'Neill

FRIENDS TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING. OR DO THEY?

Everyone wants perfection.

But there is no such thing.

Nancy has the perfect life.

She is bright, beautiful, and rich with an adoring husband and daughter. At least that's what it seems on the outside to her two best friends.

But then Nancy is murdered.

And as the lies start to unravel, they realise they never knew their perfect friend at all. She clearly had as many secrets as they do...

This novel was previously published as Perfect Strangers in paperback, eBook, and audio.
