"While Quinn writes with spirit on weighty subjects like domestic
abuse, polygamy and religious cults, her primary and most poignant
theme seems to be female friendship."-New York Times Book Review
"An absolutely thrilling novel. I devoured it over a weekend,
unable to put it down. It's a clever and completely original take
on a domestic thriller."-Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New
York Times bestseller The Silent Patient "Original, informative,
suspenseful-the big three in a literary slam bang."-New York
Journal of Books Blake's dead. They say his wife killed him. If
so... which one? Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a
hidden stretch of land-a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah-where he
lived with his three wives: Rachel, the first wife, obedient and
doting to a fault, with a past she'd prefer to keep quiet. Tina,
the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn't, straight from rehab and
the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, naive and scared,
estranged from her Catholic family. The only thing that they had in
common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder. When
Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become
suspect-not only to the police, but to each other. As the
investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be
trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in
the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that
can't quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three
widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be
true. For fans of The Wife Between Us and The Dry comes a chilling
murder mystery that takes a domestic thriller's classic
question-"Did his wife kill him?"-and twists it into an completely
new type of suspense.
The tiny outback town of Dead Tree Creek is a rough place - and the locals are even rougher - but they've never seen anything like this . . .
When a man is found gruesomely murdered in the local pub, all fingers point to the backpackers working behind the bar that night - two American girls who skipped town before the body was discovered.
Despite all the evidence against them, rookie cop Tara Harrison knows there must be more to this case than a pair of sorority sisters who couldn't take a joke. She's determined to uncover the truth, and is soon on the trail of a devastating secret that could tear her hometown apart.
But sorority sisters Lauren and Beth have their own dark secrets and they've made an oath to take them to the grave - which they will, all too soon, unless Tara can stop it . . .
You'd die for your best friend... But would you kill for her? 'This
is not the usual story of vulnerable women in jeopardy ... but one
in which the victims fight back.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Oh, my, can this
author write women!' NEW YORK TIMES ____________________ Some women

town before the body was discovered. Despite all the evidence

slice of Aussie noir isn't just a fantastic whodunnit, it also
shines a light on some important themes. We couldn't get enough of
the atmospheric setting and pitch-perfect writing.' HEAT 'Layer
upon layer of plot twists ... My only sadness was that I couldn't
read it in one go.' BELFAST TELEGRAPH 'A well-researched,
page-turning story with characters to root for and some seriously
good misdirection. This is excellent outback noir.' EMMA STYLES 'A
blisteringly good book. Compulsive, brilliant, atmospheric, and
with serious emotional clout. These characters didn't just jump off
the page: they pulled me into it. An absolute five star read.'
GYTHA LODGE 'Atmospheric and brooding, this gripping police

Australia. Tara is a smart heroine I'd love to read much more of.'
ED JAMES 'A bloody good (and indeed bloody) story of suspense and
mystery.' MORNING STAR ____________________ 'Beth and Lauren are
backpackers from California who have run out of money in Western

vulnerable women in jeopardy, however, but one in which the victims
fight back.' SUNDAY TIMES ____________________ PRAISE FOR CATE
