Some questions uncover the truth. Others get you killed.

Aoife thought she’d left murder investigations behind. After two cases that cut too close to home, she walked away. Now she’s focused on temping, co-parenting her young daughter, and navigating a fragile new relationship with Detective Conor Moloney—while dealing with his hostile teenage son, who seems determined to push them apart.

Then a national tragedy grips the country: an entire family found dead in their own home. A note on the door reads, ‘Don’t come in. Call the police’. The case is quickly ruled a murder-suicide. Most people accept it. One person doesn’t.

The victim’s sister believes her brother was murdered—and she wants Aoife’s help to prove it.

Despite her best efforts to stay out of it, Aoife is pulled back in. Her first step? Reconnecting with the book club she recently joined—unaware of just how deeply its members were entangled in the victims’ lives. As Aoife investigates, unsettling details, buried tensions, and long-held secrets begin to surface. But as the case twists in unexpected directions, Aoife uncovers a truth far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

The official story was wrong. And somebody will kill to keep it that way.

A fast-paced psychological thriller packed with domestic suspense, buried truths, and the emotional cost of uncovering lies.
