Overview
For the first time in fifteen years, I stand in my hometown, watching the sun glint on the frozen lake where my sister and I spent so many happy summers. The lake where her husband died. I can’t believe he’s dead. And the world thinks one of us killed him.
My sister was my best friend. But I haven’t spoken to her since she stole my fiancé and the life I dreamed of on my wedding day. So, when she calls in the middle of the night, every instinct tells me to hang up. Until I hear the fateful words that break my heart: “He’s dead, Eliza. Alex is dead…”
I vowed never to return, but I have to support my sister. And when I stand outside her picket fence home, the sound of her beautiful children playing nearby, I feel a longing in my chest. But stepping inside, it’s far from the life I’d imagined. There are secrets hidden here that make me wonder if I ever really knew my sister at all.
When suspicion falls on us for Alex’s murder, I have no choice but to prove we’re innocent. But uncovering the secrets about the man we both loved will reveal what my sister has been hiding from me all these years. And once I know the truth, nothing can ever be the same again.
A totally unputdownable, heart-wrenching family drama about a devastating family secret, unbreakable sisterly bonds, and the truth we hide to protect those we love the most. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Laura Dave and Jodi Picoult.
