Synopsis

Named a New York Times Best Book to Give!“This house of correction is booby-trapped with twists, the
floors paved with trapdoors, quicksand churning in the garden. Enter if you
dare.” –A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of The Woman in the Window

“Full of unexpected turns . . . Immensely satisfying.” – The
New York Times Book ReviewIn this heart-pounding standalone thriller from bestselling author Nicci French, a woman accused of murder attempts to solve her own case from
the confines of prison—but as she unravels the truth, everything is called into
question, including her own certainty that she is innocent.Tabitha is not a
murderer.When
a body is discovered in Okeham, England, Tabitha is shocked to find herself
being placed in handcuffs. It must be a mistake. She’d only recently moved back
to her childhood hometown, not even getting a chance to reacquaint herself with
the neighbors. How could she possibly be a murder suspect?She knows she’s
not. As Tabitha is
shepherded through the system, her entire life is picked apart and scrutinized
—her history of depression and medications, her decision to move back to a town
she supposedly hated . . . and of course, her past relationship with the
victim, her former teacher. But most unsettling, Tabitha’s own memories of that
day are a complete blur.She thinks she’s
not. From
the isolation of the correctional facility, Tabitha dissects every piece of
evidence, every testimony she can get her hands on, matching them against her
own recollections. But as dark, long-buried memories from her childhood come to
light, Tabatha begins to question if she knows what kind of person she is after
all. The world is convinced she’s a killer. Tabatha needs to prove them all
wrong.

But
what if she’s only lying to herself?
