Synopsis

The school gates are full of gossip. This time, one of the rumours is murder.

Rachel Bennett has the kind of life everyone envies: two beautiful children, a successful husband, a spotless home and an uncanny ability to make every other mother at the school gates feel slightly inadequate.

Then, on the morning of the primary school’s autumn bake sale, Rachel is found dead.

The police think the answer lies outside the quiet little community.

Lucy Harper knows better.

A 38-year-old mum of two with an unfortunate habit of noticing things she shouldn’t, Lucy remembers Rachel acting strangely in the days before her death. The secretive phone calls. The sudden disappearance of thousands of pounds. The vicious argument nobody was supposed to hear.

And then Lucy’s eight-year-old son mentions something rather important.

He saw Rachel at the school the night before she died.

And she wasn’t alone.

Now Lucy is swapping coffee mornings for covert investigations, questioning PTA parents between school runs and discovering that behind the perfect family photos, manicured gardens and painfully polite WhatsApp messages, almost everyone has something to hide.

Affairs. Money. Jealousy. Blackmail.

And perhaps another murder.

Because someone knows Lucy is investigating.

And if she doesn’t work out who killed Rachel before Friday afternoon’s school pickup, her children might be waiting at the gates for a mother who never arrives.
