Your past will always find you! With her three beautiful children, millionaire husband and Cotswolds mansion, former investigative journalist Rose Miller has an enviable life. But behind the domestic bliss lies a secret past! As Oxford students in the early nineties, Rose and James belonged to Society X, an elite clique that knew no boundaries. Led by the enigmatic Dalziel, the group were hell bent on breaking down society's norms - until an unimaginable tragedy occurs. With the subsequent scandal covered up, Rose has settled into family life - but is afraid to admit her feelings of boredom. So when her ex-editor asks Rose to dig the dirt on a wealthy businessman new to the area, adrenaline enlivens her. But as Rose's investigation begins to threaten her family she backs away - and then a tragedy at her home begins to widen the cracks in her domestic facade. As their world crumbles around them, is Rose about to atone for the sins of her past?

A good read which covers two timelines in the life of journalist Rose Miller. The early nineties see Rose taking a place at Oxford & becoming involved with the enigmatic Dalziel & "Society X". Present day sees the actions of "Society X" coming back to haunt her. The back & forth between the times worked well but I found the story muddling at times. Often a scenario or passage seemed to end abruptly but rather than create tension or make me wonder what had actually happened/was going to happen it merely served to confuse me.

The book is billed as a thriller but for me it lacked edge-of-the-seat suspense & at least one WHAT?!! moment I like in a thriller. To me it had more the feel of a mystery novel with journalist Rose taking the role of amateur detective. Still overall it was a good read & I'll be happy to read more by this author.
