About this ebook

A New York Times and USA Today bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage and You Shouldn’t Have Come Here comes a chilling family thriller about the (sometimes literal) skeletons in the closet.

After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm’s length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn’t been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before.

While going through their parents’ belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends.

Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

Ratings and reviews

I've read a lot of books, and that old saying, " can't judge a book by it's cover" couldn't be further from the truth. But if you're into brain bubble gum, pulp fiction ala mode, and following the word that rhymes with herd. U will love it.

I'm not much of a reader, in fact, this is probably only the second book I've finished in the past couple of years. It's so well done, and once you get into the real mystery of it, it hooks you!

Phenomenal! I breezed through this book, needing to know what happened after every page read. The characters really came to life for me and the ending really knocked my socks off. Cannot wait to dive into more from this author!
