"Feeney lives up to her reputation as the "queen of the twist"...This page-turner will keep you guessing."--Real Simple "Marriage has never been so disturbing...or so compelling. Alice Feeney has written a staggering novel filled with tension, suspense, and an ending that will leave you flabbergasted. You think you know where it's going, but you have no idea."
--Samantha Downing, bestselling author of

A really gripping story with clever switch-back twists that kept me off-balance (checking over my shoulder!) the whole nail-biting way.
