Publisher's Summary

You think you know those closest to you. You are wrong....

A sleep-deprived new mother approaching her 40th birthday, the very last thing Louisa wants to do is celebrate.

But when her friend Tiff organises a surprise party, inviting the entire list of Louisa’s Facebook friends, Louisa is faced with a room full of people she hasn’t spoken to in years - including someone she never expected to see again: her ex-boyfriend, Oliver Dunmore.

When Oliver’s wife, Melissa, goes missing after the party, everyone remembers the night differently. Someone knows what happened to Melissa, and Louisa is determined to find them. But the truth could be closer, and the deception more devastating, than she’d ever imagined....

A gripping psychological suspense novel, perfect for fans of Samantha Downing’s My Lovely Wife, Lucy Clarke’s You Let Me In and Linda Green’s The Last Thing She Told Me.

The story drags

I struggled with this book. At first I thought it may be the narrator...it felt so slow. Then I realized it was the story itself as well as the main character. Usually twists in mysteries keep you on edge and make you want to find out more. But in this case I felt every twist was nothing more than a way to drag out the story. I tried to be sympathetic to main character, but she made me tired and feel as crappy as she did throughout the book. By the end, I was just very unimpressed.
