Maxie, Anaya, Hazel and Yvonne – four friends and school-gate-mums who meet for coffee, wine, gossip and momentary escape from their respective lives. Nothing unusual about that until Yvonne is found battered and half-dead in the playground. Three weeks later Cece moves into the area, her children starting that same school. Gradually she finds herself falling into the orbit of Maxie, Anaya and Hazel and hears what happened to the still comatose Yvonne. Two questions still hang in the air though: who did it and why? The police believe that the perpetrator is one of the three remaining friends and that Cece is in the perfect position to help them with their enquiries… a very dangerous position to be in.
There may be some of us who feel a bit 'What? Really?!' when the truth about Yvonne was uncovered but it's only a milli-second that really didn't matter across the landscape of such an intriguing, enveloping mind journey. Yes, definitely a best yet!
(Thank you, Century, for providing us with a copy for review. We also have a review of [[The Flavours of Love by Dorothy Koomson]].)
Further Reading: If this appeals and you're new to the author, [[:Category:Dorothy Koomson:|dive in]] and enjoy. If you're already a fan, try the equally superlative [[Friends and Liars by Kaela Coble]], another thriller with a female bias.
