Single mother Callie has come to rely heavily on her best friend Suzy. But Callie suspects Suzy's life isn't as simple as it seems. It's time she pulled away - going back to work is just the first step towards rediscovering her old confidence. So why does she keep putting off telling Suzy about her new job? Suzy and Callie live close to each other on a typical cramped, anonymous London street. Neighbours seem to move in, and move on, before you have even learned their names. Callie's increased sense of alienation leads her to try to befriend a new resident on her street, Debs. But Debs is anxious, odd. You wouldn't trust her with your child - especially not if you knew anything about her past.

You leave your child with a friend,
Everyone does it. Until the day it goes wrong

Every parents nightmare eh? On the face of it Callie & Suzy are really good friends but do they know each other as well as they think they do? Both are keeping secrets from each other. New neighbour Debs also has a secret & from the start there is friction between the three women. The tension builds beautifully as the secrets start to come to light, while some don't come as a total surprise (one in particular for me was very obvious but I won't spoil it by saying who it relates to!) one or two are more unexpected. My only criticism is that the ending seemed a little of an anti-climax but perhaps that's because I was so hooked on the rest of it!

A really good read that was very hard to put down - highly recommended :o)
