Heather and Jess were more like sisters when they became the best of friends both feeling like outsiders formed a pretty watertight friendship and Jess likened the fact that Heathers mum Margot and sister Flora treat her more like family than her own mum did. That was until the very core of their friendship is destroyed when in the summer of 1994, Heathers sister Flora vanishes…
Fast forward twenty-five years and as if lightning strikes twice, their sleepy seaside town is rocked again when tragedy hits and Heather tries to take her own life after taking the lives of two other people in cold blood – a loving, doting mother. The community are shell socked and can’t make sense of it.
Jess, now a reporter is sent back to her hometown to report on the case. What if she could solve both mysteries…?
Or could she delve into the dark, dangerous side of her hometown revealing secrets and lies that are better left buried…?
Claire Douglas has done it again! Fast becoming one of my favourite authors in this genre, has written another brilliantly executed story creating scenes in my mind like a showreel. This was an enthralling read, that kept me glued to the edge of my seat. With twists and turns as the story unravels and authentic, relatable characters that allowed the plot to flow – Ms Douglas makes it look effortless! Just when I thought I had it all figured out something else would be revealed…Absolute brilliance!
I would highly recommend!

One of my favourite thrillers of Summer 2019
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2019
Jess is trying really hard to impress her new boss after a scandal in her last job. When she is assigned to report on a double murder, she's determined to get the scoop - but the accused is her childhood friend, Heather. Why would Heather kill two innocent people? And will anyone even speak to Jess given what happened many years before, when Heather's sister Flora disappeared?This was a brilliant, tense crime/thriller/mystery. Jess and Heather were both really intriguing, layered characters with so much history to them. I felt like I really knew them both. The addition of Flora's story was clever, and I loved the way that there were newspaper articles included here and there. It's a slow, engaging read that builds and swells to a really satisfying conclusion - if you're expecting shocking twists at every turn then this may not be for you, but if you want a lazy, heady, character driven thriller that will pull you in and have you reading into the wee hours, this is your story.I thoroughly enjoyed this, I think it's the thriller of Summer 2019 for me so far.Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC. This has no bearing on my review.
