BOOK DESCRIPTION
Paige, Richard and me. We thought we’d be friends forever. But everything changed the day we took the short cut home from school along the old railway line. I wish we’d gone the long way. I wish we hadn’t seen our classmate, pale and still in the undergrowth. And I wish we hadn’t promised to keep one, awful detail a secret just between us…
Twenty years later, I have a brand-new life, and try never to think about my old one. But I’m dragged back when Paige calls out of the blue. Richard has been accused of something terrible. Everyone back home is whispering about the body we found years ago, and saying Richard deserves to be locked up…
Before I know it, I’ve returned to the small town I thought I’d never see again. Paige is almost the same as I remember – jet-black hair, slender frame – but why does she seem so nervous?
Revealing the truth about what we saw that day twenty years ago could clear Richard’s name… but will the blame fall on me? And can I really trust that Paige is on my side – or is she hiding her own dark secret?
When we find a strange note in Richard’s flat, only one thing is for certain: someone else knows the truth too. All three of us are in danger…
A totally addictive read by bestselling author Kerry Wilkinson about how the secrets from our past will always come back to haunt us. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, I Am Watching You and The Girl on the Train

It has been at least five years since Harry had last spoken to his old school friend Paige so he is somewhat surprised when thoughts of her and his other friend Richard worm their way into his thoughts whilst he is stood in line outside Yokely Dokely one Sunday morning. Then his phone suddenly rings and he is shocked to see that he has a call from Paige. He is even more shocked when she informs his that Richard has been arrested for murder. At first Harry is reluctant to return to the small town of Macklebury where he grew up but there is something about Paige that he just cannot resist.
All lot has changed in the twenty years that he has been away but one of the few things that hasn't is his sister Evie's cold, hostile attitude towards him. Harry and Paige start digging into Richard's life,hoping to uncover some evidence that will prove his innocence but all they seem to uncover is secrets,lies and more unanswered questions.
Then gossip starts doing the rounds around the town and in social media that the police also suspect that Richard murdered the school boy whose body was discovered years ago in undergrowth close to Macklebury school. Harry and Richard had been questioned by the police at the time because they were the one's who had discovered the body. Harry vividly remembers that he and Richard were together on that day but,as expected, the memories have faded and become confused with the passing of time. He cannot remember is the boys had been together when they discovered the body, was one boy walking ahead of the other? Could Richard have actually led Harry to where the body was?
Of course the town gossips and faceless,know it all's hiding behind their computer screens already have Richard,tried,convicted and locked up in his tiny prison cell. Is Richard guilty of double murder? Or has a unknown enemy done a excellent job of making it appear that he is? And why is Paige behaving so out of character and appear to be constantly on edge? People change over time, is she still the loyal friend that she used to be?
This is a slow burning mystery that keeps the reader guessing and has some unexpected twists and turns. As readers have learned to expect from Kerry Wilkinson, it is very well written and has a cast of realistic characters. I couldn't say that any of them actually stood out for me,to be honest, I thought that for a main character Harry was rather bland and unremarkable. I can't say that I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed other titles that were written by this author but that won't stop me looking forward too and reading more of his books in the future.
