'A fresh new voice in crime fiction' - JANICE HALLETT 'Funny, sad, witty and very engaging' - EMMA CURTIS 'Darkly funny and deftly plotted' - ALICE CLARK-PLATTS Everyone needs a hobby... Things haven't been going well for Beth. Her husband has left her for one of her friends. Her fellow school mums judge her for swearing too much and not shifting the baby weight. And now she's stuck in A&E after her son fell off the climbing wall on the first day of school. In fact, things haven't been going well for Beth since Charlotte died - her best friend, a favourite at the school pick-ups and the only person to ever run an interesting PTA meeting. But after being hit by a car while on an ill-timed evening jog, Charlotte is no longer there to help Beth pick up the pieces of her increasingly difficult life. That is, until Beth discovers that Charlotte left her toddler alone in the house during that fatal run. The Charlotte she knew would never do something so irresponsible, and suddenly Beth is questioning whether Charlotte's death was really an accident. With a newfound purpose and a glass of wine in hand, it's time for Beth to uncover what really happened to her best friend. And what better place to start than the circle of chatty school mums, who can't be as perfect as they pretend. But which of them is hiding something? Beth's determined to find out. Once she's put the kids to bed, of course... 'Riotously funny and searingly observed' - KATE SIMANTS 'A twisty-turny mystery that drew me in from the opening lines' - PHILIPPA EAST

The MC will give you anxiety and you definitely want to shake her, the school mums are horrible (gave me flashbacks!) and 2 people die. An entertaining read.

julesG I'm soooo glad I didn't pick this for Blind Date With a Book. It was in the top five. 😉 4mo
TrishB @julesG lol! It‘s hard to pick isn‘t it! It would have been a good pick for someone though! 4mo

This was an interesting read. The plot gets lost a little in the drama of Beth's life up until the end. I did like how it all came together and the ending was well written. I did just about figure the truth of Charlotte's death before the ending and it was clever. The characters are not overly likeable but in many ways it fits with the plot really well. Beth is a trainwreck for much of the story and you just dont know what to believe. #Netgalley
