A razor-sharp psychological suspense thriller for fans of Gillian Flynn about the family secrets that bind us - and break us.

When Elspeth returns from New York to her hometown of Geelong, it's not for a holiday - it's because her mother has vanished.

While her sister, Aoife, and Elspeth wait for news, they circle around their father's death years earlier, reopening old wounds. But Elspeth's own behaviour soon unsettles those around her, and the police begin to wonder if she's hiding something.

Elspeth teams up with a local crime reporter to search for the truth, leading to the discovery of her mother's unfinished memoir. It includes letters that expose long-buried betrayals and shocking secrets. As the investigation tightens, so does the net around Elspeth. Is she an investigator, a grieving daughter, or someone more dangerous?

In a family built on lies, digging too deep can be deadly.
