An addictive debut for fans of tense, thought-provoking novels such as Liane Moriarty’s The Husband’s Secret and Clare Macintosh’s I Let You Go

‘Intriguing … an impressive debut’
Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door

‘It made me look at marriage in a different light’
Jane Corry, author of My Husband’s Wife

‘T. A. Cotterell masterfully conjures up the suffocating atmosphere that envelopes the couple as they navigate the mental trauma of maintaining a complex web of lies … An intriguing, well-constructed and dramatic debut’
TLS
