The doorbell cuts through the sound of the howling wind outside. Snowflakes from the freezing December air whirl into the house as I open the front door to the police. The look on their faces says everything. My husband is dead. Did one of my family kill him?

Only a few hours ago we were all celebrating by the fire, Christmas lights twinkling on the tree. Now my husband is gone forever. I'll never get the chance to say I'm sorry our last words were so angry. And as I sob into my mother's arms I have to face the terrible truth. We're not the loving family we seem.

My younger sister has always been difficult. Why won't she look me in the eye?

My brothers-in-law never liked my husband. Would they have taken it that far?

And my older sister's drinking is out of control. But can she really not remember anything from last night?

As devastating accusations are thrown my world falls apart in front of my eyes. Because everyone in my family - everyone I trusted - has been hiding secrets. Are we also hiding a killer? And how far will I have to go, to discover the truth about what happened to my husband?

Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Mark Edwards and K.L. Slater, this is an utterly absorbing psychological thriller with the most unexpected of twists.
