Laura, Mia, and Janie all have something in common that threatens to destroy their lives, but exposing the truth would also risk them losing everything they love. Laura hired Mia as a temporary employee to stand in for her while she was on maternity leave. Mia seemed competent enough to manage Laura’s job in her absence, but also bland enough that she didn’t pose a threat to Laura in any way. When Laura returns to work though, she is stunned to find out that Mia has been hired as a permanent employee. Not only does it seem like she has taken over Laura’s job by stealing Laura’s number one client, but she has also befriended every person in the office. Ever since an incident involving Laura and someone who is now her ex best friend, Laura has maintained what she considered a healthy distance between her and the other employees - except for her boss, Harry. Since Mia’s has made friends with everyone there though, Laura now feels like an outcast in a company where she used to feel highly successful and important. Her boss, Harry, has always showed a special interest in Laura, and with his charming demeanor and obvious good looks, it makes it even easier to believe that there is more to their relationship. All too quickly Mia is there to fuel the gossip about the possibility of Laura and Harry having an adulterous relationship. Although Laura and her husband have always been strongly devoted to one another, their relationship has been strained ever since Laura has returned to work, is working more hours than ever before, seems obsessed with Mia, and appears to be less interested in their newborn son. Since her husband gave up his job to stay home with their son Bobby, he and Laura have been somewhat disconnected from one another.

Harry’s wife, Janie, is troubled by her marriage to Harry and feels trapped. She and Harry quit communicating five years ago when Harry decided to uproot their lives and Janie gave up her job to be a stay at home mom. He had a new building built that appeared to be a glass castle to onlookers and has spent more time at his office than at home ever since. Janie adores their two daughters, but can’t quit thinking about what happened five years ago and is even more distraught that Harry won’t discuss it with her. Although she plays the part of the loving wife by keeping silent about their problems and hosting Harry’s annual party for the employees in his building, in her mind she’s running through the possibilities of what it would be like to leave Harry.

Mia has made sure to form strong relationships with her coworkers, but she has a hidden purpose behind her happy go lucky facade. She had been searching for the perfect opportunity, and when she saw the ad about a temporary employment opportunity while Laura was on maternity leave, she knew it was the one in a million chance she had been hoping for. She moves in with her mom and her troubled older sister, but keeps her reasons to herself.

When a fire destroys Harry’s glorious office building, all three women had possible motives for starting the fire. They have never been friends, and have had reasons to be suspicious of each other.

The book is told through the perspectives of the three different women with an ending that you surely wont see coming. It starts with the night of the fire and then backtracks to several weeks before the fire when Laura first returned to work. Each chapter gets closer and closer to the night of the fire and is broken up with excerpts from interviews the detectives and police had with the employees who worked at the building. Although it’s easy to assume that this book is just about three catty women who struggle to get along and work together, it goes so much deeper than that, and the night of the fire and events that lead up to it threaten to expose catastrophic secrets that could shatter all of their worlds.
