ALL FAMILIES HAVE SECRETS. BUT IT'S THE LIES THAT CAN KILL.
The compelling new novel about power, money and lies from the author of Anatomy of a Scandal.
---
A lavish 70th birthday party. A body found on a storm-lashed beach. And a secret that someone is dying to tell...
Famed children’s author Dame Eleanor Kingman has summoned her family and friends to her exquisite manor house on the cliffs. They're celebrating her birthday – and her latest number one bestseller in her series of books based on a mother fox and her cubs.
But the night before the party, Eleanor receives an email: an email that threatens to expose the lie she’s kept up for over half a century.
Someone knows her secret. Is it her estranged literary agent? Is it her ex-husband, to whom she no longer speaks? Is it the nanny she fired all those years ago, who always did have a knack for storytelling? Or is it one of her three daughters, all of whom have a stake in the publishing empire she has built...
With a TV crew arriving to film a documentary of her life, Eleanor needs to find out who sent the email – and preserve her multimillion-pound career.
But when push comes to shove, and it's time to tell the truth – will anyone actually believe her?
