Three identical murder confessions. Three perfect liars...
On a sunny Saturday morning, three women from the exclusive gated community of Magnolia Close walk into their local police station.
One by one, they all confess to the murder of their neighbour.
The officer takes statements from Tasha, the overwhelmed mother also struggling under the weight of caring for her parents. Beth, the quiet one, desperate for another baby but unable to fall pregnant. Georgie, the one whose life seems so dazzlingly glamorous... on the surface.
Each woman has a life - a family - that they don't want to lose.
Each woman has a reason for wanting Johnny dead.
Each woman claims she killed him.
All of them are lying.
Three motives. Three confessions. Three liars. But what would make these women destroy their perfect lives?
An absolutely gripping, addictive, close-knit community psychological thriller that will have you breathlessly flipping the pages! Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, The Couple Next Door and The Family Upstairs.
