Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious new book from the million-copy best-selling author of Faking Friends and Tell Me a Secret.

When Laura's marriage falls apart, she needs to find a home for her and her daughter. And quickly.

Welcome to the Close, a beautiful street of mansions, where Laura rents a tiny studio above a garage and gorgeous Stella is the indisputable queen bee who soon suspects Laura of having designs on her fiancé.

But when Laura unearths the ghastly secret he is hiding, it threatens Stella's perfectly curated world as well as Laura's career.

Hatching an elaborate plan to beat him at his own game, these former enemies are now best friends.

But has Laura forgotten that revenge always comes with a sting in the tail?

Fabulous story from start to finish

I loved this book. Its perfectly paced, wonderfully narrated and you get pulled into the characters lives with ease. It would make a great TV show.

Hooked from the first page

I’ve never not enjoyed a Jane Fallon book so I had high hopes. It didn’t disappoint. Loved the main character and the narrator made her very believable. It was an entertaining story and kept me interested until the end. Definitely a lovely summer listen!

Easily listening

I'd never heard of Jane Fallon before and chose one of her books at random. It was ok and nice to listen to before bed but it wasn't exciting. I think I'm hard to please with books though.
