Publisher's Summary
Secrets worth dying - and killing - for, in a novel of suspense inspired by a horrific true crime by Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author Loreth Anne White.
When the battered body of a female jogger is found beneath the cliffs of an idyllic coastal community, these perfect neighbors suddenly don’t seem so perfect...
Lily Bradley is a respected psychotherapist married to a distinguished professor. They live in a dream house with their two children in close-knit Story Cove. Lily lives a well-ordered life. Or so it seems. As a therapist, she knows everyone keeps things hidden. Even her.
Then sensual and free-spirited Arwen Harper rolls into town in her hand-painted VW van, her sixteen-year-old son riding shotgun. Overnight, Story Cove’s secrets are no longer safe. Because Arwen might know her new neighbors better than they know themselves.
Now someone is dead, and it looks like murder. Brutal and personal. The death invites the shrewd eye of Detective Rue Duval. Rue’s job is to expose secrets. But she’s also an expert at keeping them.
As the lives of three women become inexorably entwined, one thing is clear: when it comes to survival, ordinary people can do the most terrible things.

As children, Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn’t even tell them apart. They fell asleep to the sound of each other’s breath at night, holding hands in the dark. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role. But as adults, their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: married to a real estate lawyer, living in a house just blocks from the beach.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Interesting story, some story beats left incomplete
This was a very fast pace interesting story that most definitely kept me wanting to know more, and even though the twist and ending was great, I felt like there were some story bests that were not completed. It definitely felt like some characters or incidents that happen were just there to help the main storyline and then it wasn’t completed finished, which was disappointing. I think it would be a little better if the other smaller characters and stories were more fleshed out to give it more depth, but overall the main story line and characters were very interesting and I enjoyed it !

Clever Thriller
One of the best narrated novels I’ve listened to so far! Her use of voices was excellent. A great thriller craftily intertwined with a real life true crime. And even though it was fictional, I still enjoyed the description like setting of Victoria/Sooke/Oak Bay.

Really Good
This is a well written novel where you feel invested in the characters and don't see all the twists right away - some are more obvious than others, but the excellent way the story is told, makes it an enjoyable ride nonetheless.

I really enjoyed this book! I didn’t realize when I purchased it that it was set in the area I live in; which was an interesting twist for me. I do feel there are parts of the story that could have been explored more however I enjoyed listening to it from beginning to end. The narrator was fantastic!
