Bea Davenport explodes onto the thriller scene with a “moody, disquieting debut [that] focuses on an unlikely friendship between two women” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).  The window’s so small I can’t see what happens next. But what I do know is that Kim is dead. And I know this, too—that I helped to kill her. Kim, my lovely, only, best friend.   Five years ago, Maura fled her life and took on a new identity, desperately trying to piece her life back together and escape the dark clouds that plagued her past.   Now, a reporter tracks Maura down and persuades her to tell her story, putting her life in danger once again. Layer upon layer of violence and deceit are revealed in Maura’s story of herself as a small-town young mother trapped in a dysfunctional marriage—and of a newfound friendship with a vibrant outsider. Hidden secrets are uncovered that have been left to settle, for far too long. But in life some things can’t be left unsaid, and eventually the truth will out, whatever the consequences.   “A tense and suspenseful debut.”—Margaret Murphy, author of Darkness Falls   “A taut and suspenseful psychological thriller which marks her as a writer to watch and an exciting new voice in crime fiction.”—But Books Are Better   “One of those compulsive reads that draws you in from the start . . . a clever story.”—Cleopatra Loves Books
