Arranging the playdate was easy. Child's play. Preparing the house was more difficult. It was only now she realised how many photographs there were: the picture-perfect unit. Wife, husband, child. All of it a lie.
I made a new friend at playgroup today. She's different from the other mothers. She feels like someone I can trust. Someone I can confide in.
But there are some things I can't tell her. Things I can't tell anyone.
Because I have a secret that no one else knows. One that still haunts my dreams, wakes me up in a cold sweat at night.
Even another mother would never understand. Unless, of course, she's hiding something too...
From the bestselling author of The Argument, this utterly addictive psychological thriller will have you hooked from the first page to the final, mind-blowing twist. Fans of Friend Request, The Silent Patient and The Girl on the Train won't be able to put this down.
