In this internationally bestselling âsuspenseful story that will keep you reading past your bedtimeâ (Kaira Rouda, USA TODAY bestselling author), a woman diagnosed with cancer sets out to discover if someone poisoned her before her time is up.
Jennifer Barnes never expected the shocking news she received at a routine doctorâs appointment: she has a terminal brain tumorâand only six weeks left to live.
Stunned by the diagnosis, the forty-eight-year-old mother decides to spend what little time she has left with her family close by her side. But when she realizes she was possibly poisoned a year earlier, sheâs determined to discover who might have tried to get rid of her before sheâs gone for good.
Separated from her husband and with a contentious divorce in progress, Jennifer focuses her suspicions on her soon-to-be ex. Meanwhile, her daughters are each processing the news differently. Calm medical student Emily is there for whatever Jennifer needs. Moody scientist Aline, who keeps her mother at armâs length, nonetheless agrees to help with the investigation. Even imprudent Miranda, who recently had to move back home, is being unusually solicitous.
But with her daughters doubting her campaign against their father, Jennifer canât help but wonder if the poisoning is all in her headâor if thereâs someone else who wanted her dead. âPart whodunnit, part family drama, this textured and utterly spellbinding story unravels in surprising ways you wonât see comingâ (Christina McDonald, USA TODAY bestselling author).
