Publisher's summary

There are some secrets you can never tell.

The last thing to go through Dominique Thomas's head was the image of her teenage daughter's face and her heart lifted. Then the shot rang out.

They were the perfect family. Successful businessman Ben Thomas and his wife Dominique live an enviable life, along with their beautiful children: teenager Ruby and quirky younger daughter Mouse.

But on Christmas Day the police are called to their London home, only to discover a horrific scene: the entire family lying lifeless, victims of an unknown assailant.

But when Ruby's diary is discovered, revealing her rage at the world around her, police are forced to look closer to home for the key to this tragedy.

Each family member harboured their own dark truths - but has keeping their secrets pushed Ruby to the edge of sanity? Or are there darker forces at work?

This dark, gripping psychological thriller will have you holding your breath until the very last minute. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie, and The Girl on the Train will be captivated.

Critic reviews

"Compelling, claustrophobic and horribly believable - a great read!" (B. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors)

I was never bored... BUT...

This is a tough book to review, because although I was never bored , and although the narrator did a great job , this was collectively the most miserable, angry, and unlikable group of characters I have ever encountered in one story.

The Twist!

The story developes at a decent pace and is not too predictable. The final twist is indeed unexpected and delicious!

Meh ...

It held my interest but was not particularly satisfying. I wouldn't say "don't read it" but will say it's just "okay."

Flat

I like to read reviews after I listen or read a book. This time I should have read the reviews and noticed the number of similar reviews saying this book was slow moving and could have been good. There was definitely no need for over 100 chapters! The story would have been so much better with 1/2 the chapters and focusing more on what the villain was doing.

Had to go all the way to the end!

This story was a tease throughout. I loved it. Enough suspects were introduced to make it impossible for me to guess the ending:) I like that in a who done what story!

AMAZING!!!!

Hands down the best book I have listened to in quite some time. I did not see that ending coming! I enjoyed this story so much I am hoping Barbara Copperthwaite can write a sequel. I am not ready to let go of these brilliant characters!! This is a must read if you enjoy thrillers.
