About the Book

'I loved how the fiendishly complicated back story unfolded and then how everything made sense in the end – so satisfying!' Marian Keyes ‘A brilliant story about the cost of family secrets, the powerful bonds of sisterhood and how far we will go to protect the ones we love’ Edel Coffey --- This family lived a life before me. And now I wonder if it was what happened in that life – all those secrets – that tore this family apart . . . not me. The warring Brown sisters. Lucy. Susannah. Tara. Each is haunted – by disgrace (Lucy), vanity (Susannah) and envy (Tara). Most of all they are haunted by secrets. Just before a dinner at their mother’s idyllic holiday cottage, Susannah disappears. That same night a young woman is killed violently on a nearby beach. Amid the confusion the next morning, Lucy discovers a link between Susannah and the murder victim. Lucy must summon all she knows from her short-lived policing career to figure out the connection and find her sister. But tracking down Susannah means Lucy confronting her own shame. It also means resurrecting ghosts that Susannah, Tara – and their mother – desperately want to keep buried. Even if Lucy finds Susannah, will the truth destroy them all? --- 'Outstanding. An accomplished, clever thriller . . . the three sisters steal the show with their warring loyalties' Jane Casey ‘Jen Bray has perfectly balanced pace with heart . . . beautifully thoughtful storytelling. I loved it!’ Liv Matthews ‘Gets its hooks into you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Tautly plotted, gripping and suspenseful’ Michelle McDonagh ‘A page-turning tale of long kept secrets and murder' Andrea Carter ‘So well plotted with characters who jump off the page . . . I was hooked from the start!’ Patricia Gibney ‘Tense and twisty’ Sheila O’Flanagan ‘By turns gripping, pacy and emotionally satisfying – blistering’ Claire Coughlan ‘Intriguing . . . the complex relationships between the sisters are beautifully depicted’ Fiona Gartland ‘A tightly woven, twisty tale’ Kitty Murphy ‘I really enjoyed all the layers and intrigue – keeps you guessing' Clara Dillon ‘Accomplished . . . gripping’ Rosemary Hennigan' 'Three sisters and a myriad of complex, volcanic secrets!

Vanessa O'Loughlin ‘A wonderfully woven mystery’ Amy Jordan ‘Chock full of family secrets . . . thrilling and twisty’ Catherine Kirwan ‘Beautifully plotted and written, compelling and emotional’ Vicki Notaro ‘Taut, terrific, tense . . . old wounds, secrecy and sibling relationships are tested to their limits in this twisty, unpredictable mystery’ Gill Perdue ‘After reading the first two chapters there was no putting it down . . . loved it!’ Michelle Teahan ‘So vivid and atmospheric … the sisters were brilliantly brilliantly written.

After reading the first two chapters there was no putting it back down. I raced through it. Loved it! A fantastic read. Fantastic. So well plotted with characters who jump off the page! Past and present collide, with secrets, lies and death - I was hooked from the start. A very assured debut that keeps you guessing until the end! Gets its hooks into you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Tautly plotted, gripping and suspenseful. Taut, terrific, tense – thrills with psychological drama, physical peril, and the highest of high stakes. Old wounds, secrecy and sibling relationships are tested to their limits in this twisty, unpredictable mystery. A pacy and absorbing debut with an intriguing premise and a satisfying ending. Really enjoyed all the layers and intrigue. The author certainly knows how to keep you guessing A natural storyteller – I couldn’t stop turning the pages. A brilliant story about the cost of family secrets, the powerful bonds of family and sisterhood and how far we will go to protect the ones we love A tightly woven, twisty tale. I really enjoyed the secrets and lies, and the layers, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood that runs through the book. An accomplished debut and a gripping thriller that readers will thoroughly enjoy right to the last page A tense and twisty exploration of family secrets and the devastation they cause.
