Sometimes it's easier to believe the lie. But is the truth right in front of you? Everyone says Poppy jumped. My beautiful, creative sister, with her paint-splattered dresses and sunshine smile, took her own life. And I think they're right. Until the day I get a call from a man with a very similar story. Everyone says his sister jumped too. But he has proof that she was pushed. And if she was, I have to ask myself: could the same thing have happened to Poppy? In the moments before she died, was she really calling me to say goodbye, or was she calling for my help? Was she really alone on that cliff edge? When Poppy's friends tell me she had a serious boyfriend, I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality. If they were so madly in love, wouldn't she have told me? Wouldn't there be pictures of them together? And when I find the silver heart necklace he gave her, I feel sick. It's the same silver heart another murdered girl was given in the weeks before she died. This can't be a coincidence. Either I've lost my mind, or the man my darling sister loved killed her. And if he could charm his way into her life so easily, what's to say he's not already in mine?

TW: Due to the subject nature of this book, suicide is frequently mentioned.

This is a great thriller, & I can't believe it's the author's first published novel. It's not perfect: it's slow to get started, & for an intelligent woman Clementine can be unbearably dim at times, but overall it's well-written & there are some great clues in the narrative, & I didn't find it immediately obvious which of the characters was the guilty party. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf In fact I suspected all of them at one time or another. The ending was good (a couple of elements in it reminded me a little of What Lies Beneath with Michelle Pfeiffer & Harrison Ford - you'll see what I mean), & overall, this is an excellent debut & I'm looking forward to reading more by this author. 4.5🌟

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
