When young lawyer Lily marries Ed, she's determined to make a fresh start. To leave the secrets of the past behind. But then she takes on her first murder case and meets Joe. A convicted murderer whom Lily is strangely drawn to. For whom she will soon be willing to risk almost anything. But Lily is not the only one with secrets. Her next-door neighbor Carla may be only nine, but she has already learned that secrets are powerful things. That they can get her whatever she wants. When Lily finds Carla on her doorstep sixteen years later, a chain of events is set in motion that can end only one way.
I enjoyed the book, I found it hard to like it when the characters were not very likable. The author's research that autism was a mental illness instead of a developmental disorder was annoying. Lots of secrets and lies, twists, turns and surprises in the end kept the pages turning for me. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Jane Corry.

The last 50 pages are the most interesting and almost brought it up to 3 stars. Nothing surprising though. And I hated ever character.
