"Abi Campbell’s brother Jack has everything to look forward to: just 18 and finishing his A-levels, he’s a star student with a prestigious university scholarship awaiting him. The youngest of five, Jack has largely been raised by Abi after their mother died, and she adores him.
The Campbells’ world is turned on its head when, one summer morning, the police arrive to arrest Jack. His childhood friend Katie has accused him of a terrible crime. The worst one.
Rumours about what happened swirl through their small seaside town, turning friends against friends and brothers against brothers. Only Abi stands by Jack while it seems the rest of the world point fingers. She knows he is innocent. He has to be. He’s her golden boy. And blood is thicker than water.
But can you love someone too much?"

Best friends share everything. But murder is different. Isn’t it?
Keeley and Jude are closer than blood. They share everything: clothes, secrets, drinks – and blame. So when they wake up after a New Year’s party to find Keeley’s boyfriend stabbed to death beside them, they agree to share one more thing: the story they’ll tell the police.
But who is their story really meant to protect?
