Rachel McGrath’s rural dream is devastated when she is involved in the murder of her friend’s husband. Will she confess, or be drawn in deeper?
How far would you go for your friends? Would you kill for them?
Rachel McGrath is about to find out.
Journalist Rachel seems to have the perfect life: nice house, nice husband, nice kids – and doing very nicely in her career as a national newspaper agony aunt.
But she wants more – and uproots her family to the seemingly idyllic Oxfordshire backwater of Upper Reaches, to fulfil a rural dream.
Rachel forges friendships in the village - with fiery, funny Vivian and beautiful, kind-hearted Nicole. But after a violent turn of events, the three friends face a life-changing decision. Do they tell the truth – or try to get away with murder?
And if you have killed once, what is to stop you doing it again? The crime is a catalyst for terrible secrets and life-changing events to unfold. The idyll Rachel thought would make her family’s life so perfect seems to be destroying them.
This is a story about love, friendship, betrayal and murder. How chasing a dream can turn into a nightmare and vows of friendship can be more powerful than vows of marriage.
And how women are just as capable of killing as men.
