Some family secrets are written in blood.
A fairytale marriage. A wealthy family. A strange mother-in-law.
Maybe it was always going to end in murder.

When Effie confides to her best friend that Hugo is trying to kill her, no one believes her.
As bodies begin to pile up, Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy must unravel a decade-old mystery before the Fincham family claims another victim. But in a world where money buys silence, even the truth has a price.
