Comment ne pas se faire d'illusions sur ceux qu'on aime ?
Natty et Sean forment un couple heureux depuis le lycée. Après avoir travaillé dur, ils sont devenus propriétaires d'un charmant petit hôtel dans la région des Lakes, au nord-ouest de l'Angleterre. Natty, sans doute trop perfectionniste, se démène aussi bien sur le plan professionnel que familial, sans se rendre compte que son mari se sent parfois un peu délaissé.
Quand l'école appelle pour leur annoncer que la plus jeune de leurs filles vient d'être hospitalisée lors d'un voyage scolaire en France, Natty se précipite à son chevet. Elle fait appel à sa meilleure amie, Eve, psychologue de renom, pour veiller sur sa famille en son absence.
À son retour, quelques jours plus tard, c'est le choc : Sean déclare qu'il est tombé amoureux d'Eve et qu'il veut divorcer. Tout s'écroule autour de Natty. Elle n'a pas d'autre choix que de tenter de faire face, au moins pour ses filles, et d'accepter l'inacceptable. Jusqu'au jour où elle reçoit une lettre : Eve aurait déjà agi de la sorte, à plusieurs reprises, avec des conséquences dramatiques. Natty va alors se lancer dans une bataille très dangereuse... -
The UK's answer to Liane Moriarty. Amazing.' Claire McGowan Innocent?
When Carrie was accused of brutally murdering her husband's lover, she denied it. She denied it when they arrested her, when they put her in front of a jury, and when they sent her to prison.
Now she's three years into a fifteen-year sentence, away from the daughter she loves and the life she had built. And she is still denying that she is to blame.
Guilty?
Tess Gilroy has devoted her life to righting wrongs. Through her job for Innocence UK, a charity which takes on alleged miscarriages of justice, she works tirelessly to uncover the truth.
But when she is asked to take Carrie's case, Tess realises that if she is to help this woman, she must risk uncovering the secrets she has struggled a lifetime to hide . . .
We've all done things we're not proud of.

Kept me guessing right until the end. I devoured it.' Claire Douglas, author of LOCAL GIRL MISSING 'A terrific page turner' Guardian ********* A doting mother or a pushy parent?
Karen Bloom expects perfection. Her son, Ewan, has been something of a disappointment and she won't be making the same mistake again with her beloved, talented child, Bronte.

But as Karen pushes Bronte to the brink, the rest of the family crumbles. Karen's husband, Noel, is losing himself in work, and his teenage daughter from his first marriage, Verity, is becoming ever more volatile. The family is dangerously near breaking point.
Karen would know when to stop . . . wouldn't she?
********* 'Another fantastic twisty-turny novel by one of my favourite authors. I am always enthralled by her books and this is her best yet' Jill Mansell 'The UK's answer to Liane Moriarty. Amazing' Claire McGowan 'Sheer perfection. The Trophy Child is gripping, darkly funny and bound to induce spasms of guilt in even the least pushy parent. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled. I want to stand on a mountain top and tell everyone to read this brilliant novel' Mark Edwards
