From the author of Best Day Ever, another gripping
novel of psychological suspense set in an upscale Southern
California community, for fans of B.A. Paris and Shari Lapena.
The perfect home. The perfect family. The perfect
lie.
Jane Harris lives in a sparkling home in an oceanfront gated
community in Orange County. It’s a place that seems too
beautiful to be touched by sadness. But exactly one year
ago, Jane’s oldest daughter, Mary, died in a tragic accident
and Jane has been grief-stricken ever since. Lost in a haze
of anti-depressants, she’s barely even left the house. Now
that’s all about to change.
It’s time for Jane to reclaim her life and her family.
Jane’s husband, David, has planned a memorial service for
Mary and three days later, their youngest daughter, Betsy,
graduates high school. Yet as Jane reemerges into the world,
it’s clear her family has changed without her. Her husband
has been working long days—and nights—at the office. Her
daughter seems distant, even secretive. And her beloved Mary
was always such a good girl—dutiful and loving. But does
someone know more about Mary, and about her last day, than
they’ve revealed?
The bonds between mothers and daughters, and husbands and
wives should never be broken. But you never know how far
someone will go to keep a family together…
