"It’s Livia’s fortieth birthday and tonight she’s having a party, a party she’s been planning for a long time. The only person missing will be her daughter, Marnie. But Livia has a secret, a secret she’s been keeping from Adam, her husband, until the party is over. Because how can she tell him that although she loves Marnie, she’s glad their daughter won’t be there to celebrate with her? Adam is determined everything will be just right for Livia and the party is going to be perfect… until he learns something that will leave him facing an unbearable decision." Diesmal hat die Autorin keinen Thriller geschrieben sondern eher ein Familiendrama, der ziemlich überzeugend ist. Livia, die sehr früh Kinder bekommen hat, feiert ihren 40. Geburtstag groß und Adam, ihr Ehemann, möchte, dass sie den schönsten Tag in ihrem Leben hat. Marnie und ihr Vater planen eine Überraschung, doch diese endet anders als erwartet und Adam muss qualvolle Stunden erleiden auf dem Geburtstag bis er wirklich weiß was mit seiner Tochter ist. Spannend geschrieben und man hat bis zum Ende hin die Hoffnung, dass doch alles gut ausgehen könnte. Geheimnisse kommen nach und nach ans Tageslicht und man verfolgt das Drama Seite für Seite und weiß nicht wirklich wie dieses endet. Insgesamt ein spannendes Drama, was ich empfehlen kann.

This was a good book. Not quite 5 stars for me as i feel the ending was revealed very early on in the book. I had hoped there would have been a twist at the end but overall it's not bad for a one off read
