"A lot of people want Victor Valance dead. But only one is willing to pull the trigger...and is about to do it again.
Bloodson Bay has a dark history soaked in blood and revenge. When a murder is linked to three friends, it's tough to prove their innocence when they each have a motive.
Tara: the town troublemaker with a heart of gold.
Ginger: the wild grandma whose fashion is stuck in 1986.
Sloane: the deaf entrepreneur thrust into fame after her husband is murdered.
All three women have one thing in common—a disturbing connection to the body buried on Tara's horse ranch. Everyone in Bloodson Bay heard about the bad blood between Tara and the victim. And rumor has it Ginger's been holding a grudge of her own. But only Sloane knows her own dark connection to him that she wishes would disappear...a secret she's buried as deep as his body.
When they stumble on a 1990s cassette tape exposing clues from the past, the trio must work together despite their strained history to catch a killer. As if! Not even the Girl Power of the Spice Girls can prove their innocence, no matter how much they wannabe free from suspicion.
One of the women knows too much...and it's only a matter of time before it gets them killed."
"Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable?
Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to 'Material Girl'...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers.
Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie.
Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared.
But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found.
As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past.
Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all.
A twisty psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Perfect for fans of Verity, Lisa Jewell, and The Last Thing He Told Me.
