She thinks she can be happy, despite her past. If they only knew my secret.Until someone walks back into her life who she knows will shatter everything. Alexis was her first love. A love so exhilarating, it is impossible to resist.I know I should end it. But I can't. Then Alexis is found dead, and the police are knocking at Laura's door. They're asking her questions and she's telling them lies. I didn't kill him. I promise.Someone wants Laura to pay for what she's been running from. Someone with an obsession that they can't let go.An impressive debut . . .Wonderfully constructed, this is at once a brilliant murder story, with enough spins of uncertainty to satisfy whilst remaining all-too-credible, and also a richly-perceptive account of female needs for connection, affection, love and sex * The Critic *
Compelling and compulsive. A perfectly crafted 'just one more chapter' read. I loved it!
