A delicious twist on the classic whodunnit - we know who did it, but will they get away with it?...
‘Lapena’s books are addictive!’ FREIDA McFADDEN, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Housemaid
----
She loves her husband. But she might love their house more . . .
Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. They have carefully, expensively, made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are, their status and tastes. With the grand mahogany staircase and state-of-the-art kitchen, it is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary.
So when Ted’s inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle?
The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with murder.
As long as they trust each other.
And as long as there are no surprises . . .
The new twisty and playfully addictive 2026 thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling 'queen of page-turners', author of She Didn't See it Coming and The Couple Next Door.
