A NOIR CLASSIC: WHEN BAD LUCK hit them, the Redmans always had a party to celebrate it. Tom Redman refused to let trouble beat them. If he and Amelia had a financial setback, he insisted on spending whatever was left in a reckless flurry of buying. "It's like turning into a skid when you're driving," Tom said. "You twist the wheel and step on the gas. You have to break your way through trouble. If you freeze up and sit still, you get permanently snowed under." Because he was young, clever and gifted, this reckless policy had always seemed to work for him. At least it hadn't ruined him yet.

‘Truly gripping and unputdownable’ Claire Allan How well do you know the people closest to you?

A compelling and haunting exploration of the secrets and shadows that can be hidden within a marriage from the New York Times bestselling author of Before and Again. The easy harmony that exists between three close-knit couples on a charming cul-de-sac in suburban Connecticut is shattered when a beautiful young woman, widowed and unattached, reveals she is pregnant. Rumors and questions begin spreading about the potential father. One by one, the couples turn inward, taking stock of their marriages and discover weaknesses they had previously ignored. As each wife struggles with this sudden crisis, they discover that they are being forced into making a decision—one that could result in either the strengthening or the dissolution of her marriage. An ingenious portrait of suspicion and deception, faith and love, Barbara Delinsky’s “adept and compelling exploration of the inner workings of the modern upper-class American family makes for one of her best books” (Booklist).

It was meant to be the perfect break-up... Just because it's over between us, doesn't mean we can't be friends. My ex-husband and I still care for each other a lot, and we are determined to put our sweet little boy, Toby first. Now we've moved into houses right next door to each other, with each of our new partners and their children. We've even knocked down the garden fence, so Toby can easily run between our homes. But it seems not everyone is happy about this big, blended stepfamily. I try to ignore the viciously-worded note in the 'new home' card, the red pen scrawled through my divorce paperwork, and the day I find myself locked into my house, all the keys suddenly missing... But I can't pretend it's all in my head when a false accusation is made against me that could destroy my life - and Toby's - forever. Someone doesn't like what's happening under these two neighbouring roofs. What they don't know is that they're messing with the wrong person. And that hell hath no fury like the wife next door...

From the outside, Essie’s life looks idyllic: a loving husband, a beautiful house in a good neighborhood, and a nearby mother who dotes on her grandchildren. But few of Essie’s friends know her secret shame: that in a moment of maternal despair, she once walked away from her newborn, asleep in her carriage in a park. Disaster was avoided and Essie got better, but she still fears what lurks inside her, even as her daughter gets older and she has a second baby. When a new woman named Isabelle moves in next door to Essie, she is an immediate object of curiosity in the neighborhood. Why single, when everyone else is married with children? Why renting, when everyone else owns? What mysterious job does she have? And why is she so fascinated with Essie? As the two women grow closer and Essie’s friends voice their disapproval, it starts to become clear that Isabelle’s choice of neighborhood was no accident. And that her presence threatens to bring shocking secrets to light.
