Louisa is barely coping with her new baby, teen daughter and sleep deprivation. On top of this her best friend Tiff helps Louisa's husband Brian arrange a surprise 40th birthday party. Wanting to make it an event she will remember Brian finds a long list of guests from Louisa's Facebook friends. Disaster. People she hardly knows or remembers and amongst them charming Oliver - her first love. Then Oliver's wife Melissa goes missing from the party, but was she even there?
Sam Carrington weaves a story of betrayal, deceit and escalating danger. One lie becomes five becomes dozens. Important things Louisa believes are found to be untrue. People she trusted now seem unreliable. Long buried memories resurface. Old secrets are told. Nothing is at it first appears.
Highly readable with a twisting turning plot, a fragile exhausted heroine and proof that sometimes the road to Hell really is paved with good intentions.
