'Smart, suspenseful, brimming with secrets. This is Sally Hepworth at her unputdownable best' KATE MORTON
'This beauty I read in a morning... Expect a lot of secrets and revelations' BELFAST TELEGRAPH
The moment she laid eyes on Heather Wisher, Tully knew this woman was going to destroy their lives.
Tully and Rachel Aston are murderous when they discover their father has a new girlfriend. The fact that Heather is half his age isn't even the most shocking part. Stephen is still married to their mother, who is in a care facility with end-stage Alzheimer's disease.
Announcing his plan to divorce and then remarry, the news of Stephen and Heather's engagement sets a chain a family implosion. With their mother unable to speak for herself, Tully and Rachel are determined to get to the truth about their family's secrets and what this new woman really wants.
Heather knows she has an uphill battle to win over Tully and Rachel, all the while carrying the burden of the secrets of her past. But, as it turns out, they are all hiding something.
A garage full of stolen goods. An old hot-water bottle stuffed with cash. A blood-soaked wedding. And that's only the beginning . . .

I loved The Good Sister and thought I would love this just as much, but unfortunately this novel fell a bit flat for me. I really liked the 3 POV‘s and spleens of the women, but the story was very much predictable. The Ending was too abrupt, I would’ve wanted to know how the sisters and Heather‘s life turned out after the devastating event. This didn’t feel like a thriller more like general fiction family drama. I hope that Ms. Hepworths new book releases will blow me away again. Thank you NetGalley / Hodder & Stoughton for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.
