Publisher's summary

Gripping suspense from the author of Little White Lies

Keep your family close, and your secrets closer…

To the outside world, the Goodlights are perfect.

Julia is a lawyer, Paul a stay-at-home dad who has dedicated his life to helping their daughter Chrissie achieve her dreams as a talented violinist.

But on the night of a prestigious music competition, which has the power to change everything for Chrissie and her family, Chrissie goes missing.

She puts on the performance of a lifetime, then completely disappears. Suddenly every single crack, every single secret that the family is hiding risks being exposed.

Because the Goodlights aren’t perfect. Not even close.

Critic reviews

"A tense, cat and mouse tale of a missing girl. Cleverly written, with many layers—a compelling read." (Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chateau)

"Brilliantly unsettling, with characters so deftly woven that you never quite know who—if anyone—you can trust." (Guy Morpuss, author of Black Lake Manor)

"Wow! What a book! I couldn't read it fast enough. The tension and pace were absolute magic." (Lauren North, author of All the Wicked Games)

Fast-Paced Thriller

Loved this story from start to finish! Kept me guessing and captivated until the end. Paul and Julia’s secrets are slowly unraveled through a unique format - starting with Julia now and Paul in the past and then reversing the timeline. Highly recommend!

So drawn out..

Paul was a horrible father with zero repercussions. It felt like it was such a build up for something so anticlimactic. Was really hoping to find a new author I liked.

Way too long

I just wanted it to end. I didn't think any of the plotlines were satisfying.

Did not draw me in

I could not get into this book at all. I even tried restarting it to see if I’d missed something. I gave up after a few chapters on my second try.
