'A knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked' Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
Someone is always guilty.
Abandoned by her girlfriend and with a mortgage to pay, artist Esther Ray reluctantly accepts a job from the deliriously wealthy Naomi Duncan: to produce a series of scrapbooks, tracing the Duncans' twenty-five-year marriage - a secret birthday gift for Naomi's husband, Bryce.
As Esther works through the boxes of Duncan detritus, she finds herself increasingly infatuated with the gilded family - until, mid-project, Naomi dies.
Esther is convinced that Bryce killed her. She just needs to find the evidence, and resist getting dragged back into the scorched earth of her own past long enough to prove it.
