If there are two sides to every story, someone is always lying… Jack: Three words to describe my wife: Beautiful. Ambitious. Unforgiving. Anna: I only need one word to describe my husband: Liar. When a woman is murdered in Blackdown village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Anna’s ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper, is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation. Someone is lying, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

this was my first alice feeney book, so i had no idea what to expect, although i knew there'd be a twist coming at some point. i had my suspicions on one character pretty much all the way through (priya), until anna's mum (mrs andrews - did we ever find out her first name?) mentioned what had happened with her dad, and the message that people would do anything to protect their loved ones kept being reinforced - and then i kind of knew. looking back at things like the bathroom scene with zoe writing on the wall, etc. it seems so obvious, but it did still have that shock factor for me, even though i had it correct. i loved the epilogue taking place six months later, with anna's mum purposefully mentioning the knife, and hinting that priya was going to meet the same fate if she came back to the house again?!
