When barmaid Rachel discovers her soon-to-be-married daughter, Beth, pinned down by a stranger in the pub cellar, Rachel lashes out in panic and the intruder ends up dead. In desperation, Rachel convinces Beth they should cover up the crime and go ahead with the planned wedding in one month’s time. Rachel, however, has her own reasons for not involving the police.  Hiding their dreadful secret is harder than they both imagined, and as the big day approaches and the lies multiply, Beth becomes a liability. Rachel looks on in dismay at a pre-wedding celebration as Beth, after too many drinks, declares she’s about to make an announcement. But before Beth can say a word, she disappears... “A page-turner from start to finish.”—Sue Featherstone,
