With family, there's a dangerous line between love and hate... [1]

From the "undisputed queen of crime writing" (The Guardian) and #1 international bestseller comes a dark, hard-hitting, and unputdownable psychological thriller. [1]

To the outside world, Cynthia Tailor is a woman to envy. She has a devoted husband who works in the city, a lovely home in Ilford, and two gorgeous children. But beneath the polished surface lies a terrifying, corrosive greed. Dissatisfied with her stable life, Cynthia craves the absolute best things—and she will let absolutely nothing stand in her way. As her deadly ambition takes over, the casualties pile up around her. Her weak husband Jimmy can do no right, her sister Celeste gets her most precious possession stolen, and her parents are left to pick up the pieces. But the victims who bear the deepest scars are her own children, James Junior and Gabby. Reaching into the darkest corners of family manipulation, Martina Cole delivers a gripping masterpiece showing that there is always a brutal price to pay when you take what isn't yours. [1, 2, 3]
