Author Description

The invitation is anonymous. It doesn't say whose funeral I must attend. I don't want to go. But I have no choice if I want to keep my terrible secret safe... As we gather by the graveside, prying eyes behind designer sunglasses take in my every move. I don't recognise anyone. I pull at my dress, wanting to run, but the words on the invitation keep me frozen in place. I can't leave without discovering who sent it. And why. And then I see it - the name on the gravestone: Alice Anderson. My blood turns to ice. That's my name. I haven't used it for three years. But somehow, someone here knows who I really am... I can't fall apart now. I can't lose everything I've worked for. So I force my hands to stop shaking and start studying each face in the congregation. I don't know who the woman in the grave really is. But I have planned for this very moment, and I know exactly what's going to happen next... This totally addictive page-turner from bestselling author Helen H. Durrant is perfect for fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl and The Perfect Marriage. Prepare to be hooked from the very first page.
