It seemed simple at first folding one lie over the next. She had become expert at feathering over the cracks to ensure her life appeared the same. But inside, it didnt feel fixed.
It happened the day of the Moon Festival. It could have been left behind, they all could have moved on with their lives. But secrets have a habit of rising to the surface, especially in small towns.
Two couples, four ironclad friendships, the perfect coastal holiday town. With salt-stung houses perched like lifeguards overlooking the shore, Lago Point is the scene of postcards, not crime scenes. Wife and mother Abbi, town cop Blake, schoolteacher Hannah and local doctor Will are caught in their own tangled webs of deceit.
When the truth washes in to their beachside community, so do the judgements: victim, or vigilante, who will forgive, who will betray Not all relationships survive. Nor do all residents.
"Kylie Kaden has hit her stride . . .. engrossing, and yet the twists and turns aren't the focus . . . it's the tension that builds between each twist that keeps you reading . . . a gripping and compelling read." --Better Reading
