Three women. Three secrets. But only one of them is capable of murder...
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This sixth novel from Londoner Emma Curtis is business as usual—a fast-moving domestic thriller that’ll have you whipping through its pages, desperately seeking out the twists (of which there are pleasingly many). The story unpicks what really happened to baby Tilly, who went missing a decade ago. Her mother, Claudia, was jailed for her murder but how are Sara, the new wife of Claudia’s ex, and Anna, Tilly’s former babysitter involved? We dart between the three women’s wavering accounts, as all manner of family secrets bubble to the surface. Is someone lying—or are they all? An unsettling read but it’s impossible to look away until the gory denouement is done.
