âDarby Kane, internationally bestselling author of The Engagement Party
They buried their secrets, but not deep enoughâŚ
Hannah McCulloughâs life is far from perfect, but youâd never know it by looking at her. Instead, youâd see a beautiful young mother wholly devoted to her two children and a docile wife utterly besotted with her self-made millionaire husband, Allan. Youâd see the designer clothes she wears, the luxury car she drives, the dewy-eyed au pair she employs.
You wouldnât see the dark secret she carries.
But when a construction crew unearths the body of a young girl near the McCulloughsâ vacation home on Orcas Island, Hannah has no choice but to confront her past. She wonders how much Allan knows about the victim and the apocalyptic cult she was connected to. Meanwhile, Allan canât seem to understand why his beautiful young bride, as polished and pristine as the collectible artifacts in his glass case, would threaten their fairy-tale lifestyle by digging too deep, in places she knows she shouldnât.
As the police investigation into the gruesome discovery deepens, the facade of Hannahâs picture-perfect marriage starts to crumble, and she soon finds herself on a dire hunt for answers. And Hannahâs search takes an unexpected turn after she crosses paths with three strangers with shocking secrets of their own.
