The twisty psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of After Anna and Seven Days
Everyone lies…but some lies are deadly.
For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she's ever wanted - a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.
They'll be perfect.
For Alfie, it couldn't be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.
