A shared tragedy, a hidden note

After their husbands die in the same accident, hotel maid and narrator finds herself close to Josephine Malone, a wealthy widow whose young sons she helps care for. A note hidden in Josephine’s husband’s suit pocket links the two deaths to questions about what their husbands concealed. The narrator stays in Josephine’s home to investigate, while keeping her own identity secret. The setup brings grief and uneasy alliance together with an investigation shaped by class differences, family secrets, and the narrator’s uncertainty about whether Josephine can be trusted.

Book overview

Our husbands died. Our husbands lied. Can I trust her?

A week ago, Josephine Malone didn't even know me. And now she can't live without me. We sit side by side on her soft leather couch, mascara stinging our red-rimmed eyes. Our husbands were killed in the same accident. And together we're riding the same gut-wrenching roller-coaster.

 

A hotel maid like me has no business being friends with someone as rich as Josephine. But I can help her. I comfort her little boys when she can't... and I hide the secret note I find in her husband's suit pocket.

 

That little note holds the key to what really happened to my husband. I can't ignore the cold fear that creeps through me as I read it, but I won't leave this house until I find out what this perfect couple were hiding. But if I stay here too long, will Josephine discover who I really am?

 

A completely gripping and unputdownable read that will have you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose and Lisa Jewell.
