I thought he took my secret to the grave. But the truth can’t stay buried forever…
In the wake of my darling husband’s death, I am so lucky to have my three beautiful, grown-up daughters by my side at our holiday home in Scotland. We need some time together, to recover from the shock. But I also need to set some things straight about their beloved father…
I’ve always known this house was the perfect place to bury secrets – remote, isolated, surrounded by nothing but miles of dense forest.
But this time I’m not here to hide more of my lies. I’m here to expose one.
I promise everything I’ve ever done has been to protect my daughters. I just hope they understand that too…
By the end of the trip, nothing will ever be the same again. I knew revealing the truth about the inheritance would have consequences, but I could never have imagined we wouldn’t all survive it.
And now the truth is out, am I in danger too…?

My thoughts: there are so many twists and turns in this book right from the start that my head was spinning, in the best way. This family has so many secrets and dodgy goings on that it’s a wonder they’re not all either in therapy or under arrest already. None of them are honest, including the teenagers, only little Charlie by dint of being a toddler, isn’t hiding anything.
Gathered at the family holiday home in Scotland, the Hunters are all about to learn some shocking truths, about the past, about the deceased patriarch (who sounds just awful) and about each other. It will tear some relationships apart and bring others closer. What a lovely holiday.
And it gets crazier as the week goes on, more secrets, more lies and is Kate ok? She doesn’t seem like herself but then again, everyone’s acting a bit suspiciously. A rainy clifftop confrontation brings everything to boiling point and someone loses their life. But can the Hunter family fix things and find a way to move on from the terrible truths they’ve finally told? Clever, gripping and full of shocking moments, this is an excellent thriller.
