‘Absolutely brilliant… An exceptionally exciting, mysterious book – we both loved it’ Richard & Judy It all happens so quickly. One day you're living the dream, commuting to work by riverbus with your charismatic neighbour Kit in the seat beside you. The next, Kit hasn't turned up for the boat and his wife Melia has reported him missing. When you get off at your stop, the police are waiting.

You and Kit are friends - ask Melia, she'll vouch for you. And who exactly is this other passenger pointing the finger? What do they know about your lives?

Louise Candlish just gets better and better, I love her’ Lisa Jewell ‘A gripping read with a brilliant first-person narrative. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. It’s so good!’ BA Paris ‘A must read!’ Lucy Foley 'Louise Candlish is the queen of the sucker-punch twist' Ruth Ware
