2000s: Three women. Three friends. One truth.
Nancy, Eleanor and Mary met at college and have been friends ever since, through marriages, children and love affairs.
Eleanor is calm and driven, with a deep sense of responsibility, a brilliant career and a love of being single and free – despite her soft spot for her best friend’s husband.
Mary is deeply intelligent with a love of learning, derailed by three children and a mean, demanding husband – she is now unrecognisable to herself and her friends.
Nancy is seemingly perfect: bright, beautiful and rich with an adoring husband and daughter – but beneath the surface her discontent is going to affect them all in terrible ways.
When Nancy is murdered, Eleanor and Mary must align themselves to uncover her killer. And as each of their stories unfold, they realise that there are many different truths to find, and many different ways to bring justice for those we love…
Everyone wants a perfect life. But there is no such thing…
The novel is set in London but the story doesn’t really make use of location or setting. The city is very much a backdrop to the action but you can tell it’s a big city, anonymous and cruel. Three women, changing friendships and one dark secret.
The plush areas of the city get a nice mention as we travel from Hyde Park to Richond. Some very nice green spots where it’s perfect for reading this novel!
