Psychological Thriller with Shocking Twist

This year's most gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards, Claire McGowan, TM Logan and KL Slater, is a real page-turner that you'll find impossible to put down, promises A.J. Park, a master of suspense who knows how to keep readers hovering tensely over the edges of their seats. 'I finished it in one go!' raves MARTINA COLE.

When Paul Reeve comes home to find his wife Alice in the bathroom, bloodied and shaking, his survival instinct kicks in. Alice never meant to kill the intruder - she was at home, alone, and terrified. Covering up the murder becomes their only option, but the crime eats away at the couple, and soon they can't trust anyone, not even each other.
