The most mesmerising and unsettling thriller you'll read this year: if lies are dangerous, the truth can be catastrophic . . .

'A hugely exciting new voice in crime fiction' Lucy Foley
'The new face of domestic noir' Evening Standard
'One of the most compelling narrators I've ever encountered' Shari Lapena
'A protagonist to rival Villanelle' Cosmopolitan

It all started with one little lie . . . Jane and Marnie have been inseparable since they were eleven years old. They have a lot in common. In their early twenties they both fell in love and married handsome young men. But Jane never liked Marnie's husband. He was always so loud and obnoxious, so much larger than life. Which is rather ironic now, of course. Because if Jane had been honest - if she hadn't lied - then perhaps her best friend's husband might still be alive . . . This is Jane's opportunity to tell the truth, the question is: Do you believe her?
