Everyone is going to the housewarming party. All the people who lived on the street the day Abi vanished... Will her mother finally learn the truth?

Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, Abi was gone - she walked past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again.

A year later, the Lovegoods are planning their housewarming party. Ava doesn't want to go, but her husband insists a night out might do her good.

But as her friends and neighbours chat, Ava learns something new about the day she has re-lived a thousand times. A throwaway comment which could change everything.

Ava thought she knew every last detail of that day.

She's about to find out she was wrong...

The number one Kindle bestseller! Brilliantly dark and moving suspense fiction for fans of Gillian Flynn, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell, The Housewarming will have your pulse racing and your heart in your mouth from start to finish.
