Description
'Extremely clever, readable and elegant ... perfect for fans of Big Little Lies. Domestic noir at its best' Suzy K Quinn, bestselling author of Don't Tell Teacher
Their children are friends first. They hit it off immediately, as kids do. And so the parents are forced to get to know each other. Three wildly different couples. Three marriages, floundering.
There are barbecues, dinner parties, a holiday in Greece. An affair begins, resentments flare, and despite it all the three women become closer.
Unnoticed their children run wild. The couples are so busy watching each other that they forget to watch their children. Until tragedy strikes.
Because while they have been looking the other way, evil has crept into their safe little world and every parent's biggest nightmare is about to come true...

An enthralling story about a group of parents that become friends when Eve starts tutoring some of their children who may be dyslexic. They soon start to socialise and the children become friends enjoying playing out together in the garden, they all go away together to Eve’s villa in Greece.
When a tragedy occurs it affects all of the 3 families and we soon realise that what goes on behind their closed doors, does not match with the image they portray on the outside.
The main characters are Eve, Melissa and Grace and we see from their points of view their struggle with everyday life. While their children have been playing happily evil has crept in. You warn you’re children about strangers but what if the dangers are closer to home!!
I was so gripped by this book. I did struggle at first to keep up with who was who and had a list of their children’s names beside me!! But I was so caught up with this book that it did not spoil my enjoyment.
At times dark but written in a beautiful and sensitive way.
Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.
Loved this! What a page turner!
As a thriller it certainly lived up to that. Its quite a dark story but kept me fully engaged and wanting more. Very strong characters that flowed through the story and kept me intrigued all the way.
Would highly recommend to all and if you love thrillers then this is an absolute must.
Thank you Penguin Uk and NetGalley.
