''A relentless, absorbing thriller'' JANICE HALLETT ''I loved every single page!'' GILLIAN MCALLISTER

With an unreliable narrator - is Layla going mad or is her story, no matter how implausible, true? - and plenty of twists and turns, this novel had me hooked, its brisk pace and revelations making it difficult to put down

Vorwort
From the author of BBC/Netflix sensation, You Don't Know Me, comes an unputdownable, twisty thriller that will keep you gripped - and constantly wrong footed. I didn't kill her. Trust me. All I said was true...
