Description

Every couple has their secrets. How far would you go to keep them?

Lorna Lloyd has the picture-perfect life: a beautiful home, a successful career, and a handsome and loyal husband, Dan. Everyone thinks she’s won the jackpot…

Then a new couple moves in next door. Charming, wealthy, and fun, Perry and Ingrid Hunter are the ultimate power couple. There’s something about Perry’s sparkling smile and Ingrid’s tinkling laugh that make them irresistible.

Soon, the four of them are inseparable and Lorna’s safe, predictable life is flipped upside down. Champagne-fuelled dinners turn into luxurious weekends away, and weekends away into holiday vacations – until a tragic accident changes everything.

Because not everyone comes home alive. And when the shocking truth emerges, one thing becomes clear…

Each couple has been keeping a terrible secret. But whose was worth killing for?

An absolutely addictive page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end. Fans of Adele Parks, Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty will be gripped by the dark secrets uncovered in this suspenseful thriller filled with jaw-dropping twists.

The Couple's Secret was previously published as Whatever It Takes. This edition includes editorial revisions.
