Naomi seems to have everything. A beautiful daughter, a gorgeous house, a perfect life.

Behind the scenes, though, she and her husband are drifting from one another and struggling to conceive their second child.

Then Naomi meets a parent at her daughter's nursery. Sean understands her, or so she thinks. Looking for a connection, for a friend, Naomi makes a terrible mistake.

Weeks later, when Naomi attempts to contact Sean, he has disappeared without a trace. But it becomes clear that someone else knows her secret. Someone who wants to make sure she never forgets what she did.

Featured Reviews

A brilliant, engrossing thriller with an interesting, complex pregnant anti-hero at its core. I loved this book from the off because of the protagonist's voice - she wasn't a perfect mum and she wasn't all bitchy and dark, she was all the shades of grey inbetween. I was shocked to discover the author of this book was a man because the female voice was so good.

Naomi has everything. Seemingly devoted husband, gorgeous house that she's renovating, and a gorgeous daughter. But she's bored. And she makes a single mistake. So far so predictable right? But that mistake snowballs in ways I didn't see coming at all! I'm good at spotting twists and predicting outcomes. I didn't spot anything coming in this one - and I bloody loved it = plus there are a couple of genuinely terrifying, hair-raising moments - and I'm hard to scare!

So Chris MacDonald, hurry up and write your next novel please!

This was an excellent novel. The plot was crafted like a black widow spider spinning her web and jumping out when you least expected it. Some of the things had me questioning if anyone would really get themselves so caught up in their own web of lies as Naomi did, but that made the ending even cleverer and I spent a while considering it all after I finished the last page.
