The perfect life. The perfect neighbourhood. The perfect murder.

Welcome to Park Slope, where everyone has something to hide…

When young lawyer Lizzie gets a call for help from an old friend accused of murdering his wife, she reluctantly says yes. Zach is the chief suspect in his wife, Amanda’s, murder but there’s no way he could be guilty – is there?

The further Lizzie dives into the glossy world of Brooklyn’s Park Slope, the more she realises that things don’t add up. Zach doesn’t know the most basic details of his wife’s past, and Amanda’s friends barely know he exists.

And in uncovering the truth, Lizzie will be forced to confront dark secrets that lie at the heart of her own once perfect marriage…
