In this âtwisty, propulsive thrillerâ (Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author) from Megan Collins, two sisters-in-law are at painful odds when the man who connects themâthe brother of one, the husband of the otherâis accused of a brutal crime.
Julia and Sienna Larkin are sisters-in-law, connected by Juliaâs husband and Siennaâs brother, Jason. More than that, the two are devoted best friends and business partners, believing that theirs is a uniquely unbreakable bond. To Sienna, her protective brother can do no wrong, and although Julia knows heâs not perfect, theyâve built a comfortable life and family together. Recently, Jason has been putting in long hours to secure a promotion at work, so when his boss is found brutally murderedâhis lips sewn shutâthe Larkins are shocked and unsettled, especially as local gossip swirls.
A few days later, Julia and Siennaâs lives are upended when Jason gets into a car accident and is placed in a medically induced coma. Worse, the police arrive with news that heâs the prime suspect in the murder investigation. With Jason unable to respondâand with Julia and Sienna working to clear his nameâthe two women find their friendship threatened for the first time: Sienna staunchly maintains her brotherâs innocence, but as their investigation uncovers a complicated web of secrets, Julia is less sure sheâs willing to defend her husband.
With her signature âmoody and atmosphericâ (USA TODAY) writing, Megan Collins has crafted a rich, gripping story that explores just how fragile our closest bonds can be.
