Three women. Three smoldering secrets. Who will make it out alive?
It's 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. As the smoke thickens, panic sets in - she's moments away from being engulfed in flames. How did it come to this?
Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street. The three women soon fabricate the perfect pretense of friendship, but each harbors her own deadly secret - and newcomer Liv senses something is terribly wrong beneath the polished exteriors.
As cracks widen in the veneer of perfection and lies escalate out of control, tension ignites. Bonfire Night is approaching and someone is set to burn...But who will it be?

This novel was intriguing. It reads like a cross between Sybil and The Sixth Sense and the dark psychological thriller you have currently on your nightstand! John Marrs books are always at the top of by book reads!
This was the first book I read by John Marrs and I really enjoyed it! It had twists and turns that kept me interested. Will definitely be reading more by him.
Too many characters to focus on. I had to go back to figure who was who a couple of times.But the John Marrs is great!
Great story! So many twists and turns! The plot kept me guessing for quite awhile who was the craziest of the 3 women. I liked them all so much despite their secrets. And I loved the bit of “supernatural“ twist weaved so smartly in the storyline. Great book, it was difficult to put down. Now onto the next John Marrs books. Thank you John for the great entertainment.
Marilyn Monroe was right about being two-faced. That's how all three women one-upped each other.John Marrs gives a thought-provoking look at several mental health issues. As well as the waiting list problems that occur with government health systems.I love this book. I listened to and read the story. The person reading it fantastic! Her rendition of Margot is hilarious. I can't believe how often I laughed. Mr. Marrs developed his characters in such a way that I felt I knew each one, even Brandon and Drew.So very entertaining. I very strongly recommend it.
