A riveting read!" --MARY KUBICA, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl "This searing small-town thriller from bestseller Miranda ( The Perfect Stranger ) explores the complexities of female friendship and the picturesque fictions that money can buy...Sharply drawn characters both ground and elevate the bombshell-laden plot, while evocative prose heightens tension and conjures place. Miranda delivers a clever, stylish mystery that will seize readers like a riptide." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) "The narrative, which flips between 2017 and 2018, grows increasingly tense as Avery, who is a surprisingly reliable narrator, gets closer to the truth...Most compelling are the class tensions between Littleport's year-round residents and the seasonal, moneyed tourists as well as the elusive nature of memory and the intricacies of friendship. An evocative...thriller." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS "The vivid description of this isolated town sets the stage for the revelation of Littleport's secrets...Miranda's exploration of how Avery's and Sadie's lives intertwine give the story its depth. Fans of Michele Campbell and Mary Kubica, who like family drama supporting their suspense, will enjoy." -- BOOKLIST
