A dark new thriller perfect for fans of Megan Miranda and Shari Lapena where murder exposes the dark secrets at the center of a group of friends and sets two women â one with a traumatic past, the other a Boston police detective â on a hunt for truth. Snow falls softly outside Molly Bradleyâs home on a frigid January night. Inside, half a dozen close friends are gathered to celebrate the fortieth birthday of Mollyâs psychologist husband, Jay. Candlelight gleams against dark wood, wine flows, and the house rings with laughter. Everybody loves Jay, Molly most of all. Yet next morning, Molly discovers Jay dead on the floor of his office, his throat brutally slashed. After decades working with the Boston PD, Detective Rita Myers has grown accustomed to the banality of evilâthe murders that make no sense beyond bad luck or a tragic brush with the worst of humanity. But Jay Bradleyâs murder isnât random, or a mere crime of opportunity. Rita is convinced that someone in the coupleâs small circle killed him. Someone who was celebrating with them that night. Devastated, Molly tries to make sense of her husbandâs death. Jay was her rock, the only person who really understood the nightmare she lived through long ago. He knew the horrors sheâs kept hidden even from her friends. But shocking revelations are making her question if Jay was all he seemed to beâand whether someone else knows her past too. And until Molly figures out who she can really trust, she wonât be able to stop herself becoming the next target . . . âGrippingâ¦Parlato is off to a strong start.â â Publishers Weekly âA creepy debut.â â Kirkus Reviews
