Description
‘This disturbingly-brilliant thriller… is chock full of lies, secrets, cheating husbands, and nosy housewives’ Metro
In a world where appearances are everything… you can’t trust anything
In a pristine suburb outside of London, everything and everyone is perfect… on the surface. But when one of their own – an innocent teenage girl – goes missing, DCI Sue Fisher and her team start to investigate the secrets and lies of an interconnected web of bored housewives, cheating husbands, and disaffected teens.
As the veneer of perfection starts to chip away, dark secrets rise to fell the mighty, and a community is brought to its knees…
