What to expect

Someone's getting married. Someone's getting murdered.

In a dark, dark wood

Nora hasn't seen Clare for ten years. Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back.

There was a dark, dark house

Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her?

And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room

But something goes wrong. Very wrong.

And in the dark, dark room....

Some things can’t stay secret for ever.

Critics Review

  • A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller – genuinely chilling and totally compulsive

    Sunday Mirror, Book of the Week
  • [A] chilling psychological thriller…a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns

    Sunday Express
  • If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate, Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane

    Independent
  • You won’t be able to put down this creepy page-turner

    Closer
  • Thrilling, gripping & well-written

    Metro, Book of the Week
