Deliciously twisted... definitely glamorous and gripping. The perfect holiday thriller! Shalini Boland

Perfect families are only as perfect as their best kept secrets.

Summer, 2000

The Whitlam siblings have it all, and sixteen-year-old Lucy only wants one thing – to be close to them. Soon she’s lazing around their impossibly large pool, wearing Annabel’s expensive clothes, and having secret rendezvous with Harry, until at their lavish clifftop party, she sees something that could jeopardise it all.

Winter, 2020

One failed marriage later, Lucy is back in town and quickly lured back into the Whitlam’s shiny world. But when a body washes up on the beach and someone seems determined to frame her for murder, keeping their secrets this time could cost her everything.

Now that summer is over, is she with them or against them?

A totally addictive psychological thriller you won’t be able to put down. Perfect for readers of We Were Liars, The Perfect Couple, and The Guest List.
