Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty’s Truly Madly Guilty and Joanna Cannon’s The Trouble with Goats and Sheep – a vibrant debut about an English village pushed to the brink, and the secrets its residents are desperate to protect.



HOW WELL DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS?



In the English village of Heathcote the temperature – and the sense of unease – is rising.

It started with small things – a perfume bottle being moved, a photograph left behind in someone’s house. But now Anna is missing.

As the search for Anna gathers pace, suspicions grow and secrets are revealed. Surely one of the villagers can’t be responsible? But then can you ever really know what’s going on behind closed doors…
