One of their dearest friends, Laure, is in their house - sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris' clothes, even rearranging the furniture. She has walked out on her husband - and their good friend - Pierre over his confession of an affair.
Iris and Gabriel want to be supportive. But as Laure's mood becomes more unpredictable, her presence begins to unravel secrets in all their pasts - until things reach breaking point ...
***The Million-copy International Bestseller*** 'If you love The
Girl on the Train read Behind Closed Doors' Elle 'Twists our
expectations of the entire psychological thriller genre' Guardian
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and
wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like
them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's
difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart. Some
might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers
the phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she
doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so
slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.
Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie. PRAISE FOR

CLUE
The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.
But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.
Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.
Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.
