You love domestic thrillers where the twist reshuffles everything you thought you knew about the characters.
You're drawn to stories about ordinary people capable of extraordinary darkness, especially when family loyalty becomes a weapon.
You enjoy multi-layered mysteries where the obvious suspect isn't actually guilty.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a detective story where law enforcement actually has the upper hand and solves things methodically.
You're looking for a redemption arc or sympathetic motivations for the people committing crimes.

About this book

Chris Harcourt is dying of cancer at fifty-one. On his deathbed, his wife Jess reveals a secret she has kept for decades: she slept with each of his three closest friends as revenge for his affair years earlier. The revelation shatters the tight-knit group. Shortly after, the men begin to die under violent circumstances: a slashed throat on a golf course, a stabbing in a school car park, and a hit-and-run accident. Detectives Will Stewart and Claire Landon investigate the murders, their investigation leading them to Elsa Manvers, Chris's former carer. However, the detectives discover an unexpected twist: the real killers remain at large, concealed among those closest to the case. The true motive and perpetrators are far more complex than initially suspected.
