Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist isn't entirely sympathetic and nothing is quite as it seems.
  • You've read other McFadden books and want that same propulsive, twist-heavy storytelling with unreliable narrators.
  • You enjoy domestic suspense where ordinary people's lives implode under pressure and surveillance.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries or lighter thrillers where the stakes feel lower and the tone is less dark.
  • You need to fully root for your protagonists. April is flawed and complicit in ways that might frustrate you.
  • You're looking for a standalone that wraps up neatly. McFadden's endings often leave moral questions deliberately unresolved.

About this book

April Masterson is a YouTube baking sensation known for recipes like gooey brownies and key lime squares. However, she harbors secrets beyond her online persona. Questions surround her son's unexplained absences from home, her private encounters with a local soccer coach, and what lies buried in her backyard. Someone is determined to uncover and expose these secrets, threatening to destroy April's life. The novel explores how everyone keeps secrets, but some carry consequences far more damaging than others.
