Even the best liar can't hide the truth

Marnie thought she’d left behind her days of writing celebrity tell-all memoirs, but she has her own reasons for wanting to meet this client.

Blythe Hopper. A reclusive former Hollywood star who recently murdered her husband.

Dark secrets lurk at the Hoppers’ palatial London home and Marnie is determined to unearth them. At any price.

Because this isn’t just about Blythe’s past.

It’s about Marnie’s too.

A dark and mesmerising tale of deception, lies, and marital secrets, from the bestselling author of Close to Me, now a major TV series.
