A gripping thriller from Leah Konen, author of You Should Have Told Me
---
Willa is the best friend Mary never had . . .
Appearing in Mary’s life in a moment of crisis – after divorcing her rich and powerful ex, George – Willa proves herself fun, charming and loyal.
Until the day she vanishes, leaving Mary more alone than ever.
Months later, Mary is looking to make a fresh start in a new town, when she runs into the last person she expects to see – Willa.
Except her former friend is going by a new name, with a new family in tow.
Hurt, confused and troubled, Mary doesn’t know what to think.
She knows she can’t trust Willa. But soon she’ll have a choice to make.
Because when George is found dead, Mary is quickly named the prime suspect in his murder.
And what her former friend knows will either exonerate her or convict her.
But is Willa on her side or not?
And does Mary have time to figure it out – before it’s too late?
