They were meant to be best friends forever. But forever doesn’t last long if one of you is dead. Bella Wilkins is clearing out her mother Barbara’s house when she finds a hidden diary. On the cover, two words are BURN THIS. According to the diary, thirty years earlier, Barbara witnessed the murder of Bella’s childhood friend, Vicky. The diary is quickly dismissed by the police as fiction – Barbara’s attempt at creative writing – but Bella is convinced they are wrong. As she uncovers a series of dark connections, it is clear Vicky’s killer is still at large. And they weren’t just someone familiar to Barbara, but a person Bella herself knows well… A compulsive, twisty psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Lisa Jewell and Alice Feeney.
