Some secrets won't let go . . . Is the truth about a devastating family tragedy finally about to be unveiled?


"Stellar . . . Fraser is in top form" - Publishers Weekly Starred Review


Tragedy strikes a quiet Dorset town when the bodies of Sarah and Charles Drummond are discovered in their home one morning while their two young children, Abby and Mia, sleep upstairs. The police seem certain that Charles killed his wife before taking his own life, and the girls' grandmother, Cicely Fairfax, makes sure that they are shielded from the horrific truth.
Until now. Sixteen years later, an accident at work leads Mia to have disturbing flashbacks to the night her parents met their untimely deaths. What did she see? What really happened that fateful evening? When Mia and Abby eventually share painful memories from the night that changed their lives forever, they get closer to uncovering the truth, and a dark secret from the past is finally revealed . . .

      A meaty family saga combined with a suspenseful murder mystery make for an enjoyable read from the always-reliable Fraser. Family relationships, surrogacy, infidelity, and the potentially devastating consequences of revenge and deception are key themes in the story. The numerous characters and complex plot could be challenging in the hands of a less-capable writer, but Fraser's ability to weave a gripping story should keep readers engaged from start to finish. The plot focuses on the Barlow and Tempest families, with the main story line concentrating on Jess Tempest and her shocking discovery of a dead body in the flat she shares with another woman. Who is the dead man and how did his body end up in Jess' flat? There's also a heartbreaking plotline about Jenny Barlow and her struggles to conceive a child. When she opts for surrogacy, she and her husband have no idea that the consequences will nearly destroy not only their own family but also another family as well. Relatable characters, authentically depicted family interactions, skillful writing, and a satisfying conclusion make this an appealing read for fans of multiple genres.
