In the seemingly idyllic small town of Blackdown, a gruesome murder shatters the peace, drawing reporter Anna Andrews into a case she's inexplicably reluctant to cover. Simultaneously, Detective Jack Harper finds himself at the helm of the investigation, only for his professional distance to crumble when he becomes a prime suspect. As the two narratives intertwine and clash, it becomes chillingly clear that everyone involved harbors secrets, and the line between truth and deception is constantly blurred. Alice Feeney masterfully crafts a psychological thriller where dual perspectives—Anna's and Jack's, 'His' and 'Hers'—offer conflicting accounts, forcing readers to question every revelation. With its relentless suspense, expertly drawn characters, and a labyrinth of twists, the novel propels towards a shocking climax, revealing that some secrets are not just hidden, but fiercely protected, even if it means killing to keep them buried.
