Everybody needs good neighbours...
When Claire Corral goes missing from her home on Carnation Way, her neighbour Jamie isn't too concerned. He's busy—caring for his dad, recovering from a broken heart and eating himself into a bigger pair of pants.
Then the police turn up.
Is Claire's disappearance connected with the body found next door thirteen years ago? Does Jamie's father, now grappling with dementia, know more about these events than he should? And then there's Tess, equal parts mysterious and charming, who just moved in at number thirty-five...
As Jamie asks around, an unsettling picture begins to form. Perhaps quiet, respectable Carnation Way is home to the same secrets and heartaches as any other neighbourhood—with a few more murders thrown in.
Zane Lovitt, the Ned Kelly Award-winning author of The Midnight Promise, returns with a gloriously entertaining and compelling suburban mystery-thriller.
'A crime story with a clear heart of gold and a genuinely enthralling mystery. It's good-natured, one of the funniest crime books in my recent memory, and occasionally heartbreaking.' BOOKS+PUBLISHING
