I've enjoyed Katherine Faulkner's previous novels, so I was excited to read this.

Alice is enjoying a drink at home with her friends, their children playing in another room, when the unthinkable happens - a wild-eyed young man breaks in, issuing threats and heading for the room where the children are. Alice - understandably, one might think - cracks him over the back of the head with a chair. Unfortunately, both for him and for Alice, the intruder dies.

The fallout from this traumatic event leads Alice down some unexpected paths and to some unwelcome discoveries. Indeed, her life is pretty much falling apart, and not just because she's on bail for a serious crime.

There's quite a bit of (probably unavoidable) exposition towards the end. Oh, and yet again, it's "sliver" not "slither", I will die on this hill. Nevertheless this was an excellent, gripping read. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review!

Wow. What a rollercoaster of a read. Literally found this book hard to put down
Self confession. I have bought a kindle clicker and stand and it just makes reading oh so cozier and makes me want to read more. So I flew through this book. The other two books by this author have been favourites and this one did not disappoint
The book is divided into three parts: after the break in; the day of the break in and Autumn
Part 3 certainly revealed lots of shocks and twists. The author wrote this book as it was so obvious who the person was who was committing the crimes and then the last two chapters I had a proper what the f moment. How had I completely missed that!
I didn’t particularly like Alice in this book but I didn’t want to see her go down. They were a lot of characters in this book but for some reason I had a soft spot for Becca.
This is a great psychological thriller book where the race is on to find the family secrets before it’s too late
Highly recommended to any psychological thriller readers out there
This one is out in June
Thank you to the publishers for the advance netgalley copy!
