She knows everything. She'll stop at nothing.A devastating loss
When Meg and Marc lost their daughter, their family collapsed in on itself. Nobody could understand the trauma that they carried so it made sense when they turned to a therapist, Janette to help process their grief.
A new start
Desperate for some distance from their grief, they relocate to a small town where they know no one. They're sure it's a happy coincidence that Janette has moved there too, and at first it feels reassuring to have a friendly face nearby.
A past that won't be silenced
But in those dark, desperate days after the accident, they shared everything with her. Secrets they haven't even told each other. And it seems Janette doesn't want to just be their therapist anymore. Or even their friend...
Dark, sharp and sinister, this novel will make you question those whom you trust most, and the final twist will shock you to your core.
