About Such a Nice Girl
Everyone has secrets. Even your daughter...
The morning after a glamorous, luxury wedding, you and your best friend go to wake your twenty-four-year-old daughters. You open the door to their shared room in the pool-house and find a lamp smashed on the floor, a blood stain on the carpet, a ringing phone – and both girls are nowhere to be seen.
The police come and you discover something shocking. Something inexplicable.
Is one of your daughters trying to kill the other?
And that’s when you and your best friend begin to unravel what's really going on between the girls. You need to work together to find your daughters, testing your friendship to its limits.
And you can’t help but wonder: which girl is the killer and which is the victim?
About Getting Away with Murder
‘Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world.' - LISA JEWELL
She loves her husband. But she might love their house more.
Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. Styled to perfection, they have carefully made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are. It is the stuƯ of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary . . .
So when Ted’s inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they lose their beloved home and enviable lifestyle? Being poor is not an option.
The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one family member could solve all their problems. Together, they can get away with murder.
As long as they love each other. As long as they trust each other. As long as neither makes a mistake.
