Nancy, Eleanor and Mary met at college and have been friends ever since, through marriages, children and love affairs.

Eleanor is calm and driven, with a deep sense of responsibility, a brilliant career and a love of being single and free - despite her soft spot for her best friend's husband.

Mary is deeply intelligent with a love of learning, derailed by three children and a mean, demanding husband - she is now unrecognisable to herself and her friends.

Nancy is seemingly perfect: bright, beautiful and rich with an adoring husband and daughter - but beneath the surface her discontent is going to affect them all in terrible ways.

When Nancy is murdered, Eleanor and Mary must align themselves to uncover her killer. And as each of their stories unfold, they realise that there are many different truths to find, and many different ways to bring justice for those we love...

Everyone wants a perfect life. But there is no such thing...

Reviews

[stressedrach]

This book is told in three points of view, Nancy, Eleanor and Mary and flips between past and present. They have been best friends since college, and now they are older they are still friends, have shared the highs and lows of their lives with each other.
One night Nancy leaves Eleanor at a restaurant to tell her secret lover that it’s over, she is found early the next morning....dead!
Eleanor and Mary are set to find out who the secret lover is and who killed their friend.
Wow, can I say I really liked this book, I have read other books by Araminta Hall and liked them so I was pleased I like this one too.
This book has a lot of secrets, lies, suspicion and mystery. I thought early on in the book I knew who murdered Nancy only to be shocked when it finally came out. I was wrong!
I think the narrator Helen Keeley portrayed these women really well and I was drawn in living in their lives, imagining I was actually there. I was hooked from start to finish.
If you like suspense this will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Absolutely brilliant!
