Summary

Would you risk everything to protect your family?

Carla Andrews and Lorraine West are work colleagues and best friends. They socialise together, they work in the same bookmakers and they support each other as only best friends can. Then they are murdered together.

When DI Tom Fowler is handed the case, he discovers a journal that Carla has left and must unpick the secrets Lorraine has kept hidden. Soon Carla’s and Lorraine’s husbands become the main suspects. It’s usually the spouse who is responsible, isn’t it?

The investigation progresses until Isaac West, Lorraine’s 16-year-old son, disappears. Will the truth ever emerge? Will Isaac ever be found? And is knowing the truth always worth the sacrifice?

A brilliant twist at the end…

A great plot that kept me wanting to hear more. There were a few twists and turns with a real surprise at the end. Well written and I enjoyed the performance as well.

Twist

This book took a while to get my interest and I don’t like the way the police are portrayed and there are many inaccuracies but the twist at the end was the first in a while that I really didn’t see coming!

Enjoyable story with some twists

Enjoyed this more than I had expected. Well paced with a good balance between the tragic events & police investigation with some humour & a little bit of romance.
