Publisher Description

Named a New York Times Best Thriller of the Year and Best Book to Gift! 

"An unsettling and atmospheric thriller that’s almost impossible to put down . . . Will keep you guessing right up until its satisfying but unexpected conclusion." — Buzzfeed

"Riveting." — The New York Times Book Review

The acclaimed author of The Nanny and What She Knew—hailed by stalwarts including Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Tess Gerritsen, and Shari Lapena—returns with another serpentine thriller that cleverly blends atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and twisty secrets from the past into a potent, intense read that will leave you questioning everything you believe.

To tell you the truth . . . everybody lies.

Lucy Harper’s talent for writing bestselling novels has given her fame, fortune and millions of fans.  It’s also given her Dan, her needy, jealous husband whose own writing career has gone precisely nowhere.

Now Dan has vanished. But this isn’t the first time that someone has disappeared from Lucy’s life. Three decades ago, her little brother Teddy also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the only witness, helplessly spun fantasy after fantasy about Teddy’s disappearance, to the detectives’ fury and her parents’ despair. That was the start of her ability to tell a story—a talent she has profited from greatly. 

But now Lucy’s a grown woman who can’t hide behind fiction any longer. The world is watching, and her whole life is under intense scrutiny. A life full of stories, some more believable than others. Could she have hurt Teddy?  Did she kill Dan?  Finally, now, Lucy Harper’s going to tell the truth.

Cross her heart.

And hope to die.

"Spellbinding . . . Bold, suspenseful, and impossible to put down. This one will stay with me for a long time." — Samantha Downing, #1 internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

Loved this thriller

As with all the novels she writes this one didn’t disappoint me with its riveting mysterious story, the character’s complexity and realistic resonation to her ever changing emotions and whirlwind of a chaotic inner struggle with which she has no one to confide in as she’s unsure of what thoughts are real and what’s an overactive imagination and planted information about her childhood trauma in which she’s never been able to find any closure or even confirmatory answers to her infinite list of questions and confusion about her memories and the turmoil she is burdened with not knowing what’s real and what has been imagined or made up in a child mind that needed to make herself think certain truths in order to cope and pretend to functionally exist in the adult world she is currently experiencing yet not wholly as she is still very much the child whose trauma has become her only constant and reliable source throughout her life.
