BRAND NEW utterly heart-pounding thriller from BESTSELLING author Rona Halsall
A must-read for fans of Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena, and Lisa Jewell.
The smaller the town, the bigger the secrets...
When a young widow named Nia moves with her little boy to the picturesque village of Talysarn - with its lakes, woodlands and soaring mountains - she believes she's finally found the fresh start she needs.
At first, it seems perfect. Until a vicious rumour begins to spread: that Nia is having an affair with an older man who lives nearby. The gossip quickly spirals out of control, eventually reaching the ears of his wife - the fierce head teacher at the local primary school.
Before Nia realises what's happening, her dream of a new beginning turns into a nightmare. She must uncover who started the rumour before everything falls apart. Because nobody can know the real reason she moved to Talysarn.
Everyone in this village has secrets. Including Nia.
And someone will kill to keep theirs...
