The author of What Lies in the Woods returns with a novel about three sisters, two murders, and too many secrets to count.. Emma hasn't told her husband much about her past.

Then they lose their apartment, her husband gets laid off, and Emma discovers she's pregnant -- right as the bank account slips into the red.. That's when Emma confesses that she has one more asset: her parents' house, which she owns jointly with her estranged sisters. They can't sell it, but they can live in it. But returning home means that Emma is forced to reveal her secrets to her husband: that the house is not a run-down farmhouse but a stately mansion, and that her parents died there.. Were murdered.
