But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

And deep beneath the surface, there are more bodies than you'd think... -- Provided by publisher. 20240807. Women detectives Fiction. Summer Fiction. Sisters Fiction. Stepmothers Fiction.
