From Booklist:

*Starred Review* Morgan Adair is thrilled when her best friend, Claire, asks her to be godmother to Claire and her husband Guy’s new baby. As soon as the christening on Long Island Sound is over, Morgan intends to take off for England’s Lake District to meet her newfound love and work on her doctoral thesis. But when Morgan arrives at the church, she realizes that Claire is in the grip of a terrible postpartum depression, and the vivacious friend she once knew is now fearful, miserable, and teary. Still, the christening goes well enough, and Morgan, somewhat guiltily, heads for London. But at the airport, she receives a shocking telephone call from Claire, who announces she has been arrested for the murder of her husband and child. Horrified, Morgan knows she must cancel her trip and stay to help her friend, who is the last person in the world she would have believed could carry out such a terrible crime. The evidence against Claire is damning and incontrovertible, and only the ever-loyal Morgan thinks there might be more to the story, but when she begins to try to unravel the mystery, she stumbles on a dark and terrible secret. Taut and gripping, with mind-bending twists and turns, this chilling page-turner from the best-selling MacDonald will delight fans of psychological thrillers, romantic suspense, and women’s fiction. --Emily Melton
