About The Book
Everyone I know is here to celebrate my birthday. One of them wants me dead. A twist-packed psychological thriller full of dark secrets, betrayal, and family tension—this chilling domestic suspense is perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden and Daniel Hurst.
I didn’t expect anyone to throw me a surprise birthday party. My husband, Adam, would never do anything like this, so I’m touched my friends and coworkers went to all this effort.
It’s the perfect night—until it all starts to unravel.
Adam and I argue. Our teenage daughter, Caitlyn, storms off after I refuse to let her leave. I search the house to check that she’s okay. She’s not outside. Not upstairs. There’s only one place left: the basement.
I open the door and call her name. Then I hear footsteps behind me.
Before I can turn around, I’m shoved. Hard.
When I wake up, I’m told I had too much to drink. That I tripped down the stairs. That it was all just an accident.
But I know the truth—someone at my party tried to kill me.
A nail-biting, tense, and twisty psychological thriller. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Maria Frankland, and Theo Baxter.
