A Death That Unravels Everything
What does it mean when the person you thought you knew turns out to be a stranger? When Diana Goodwin is found dead in her study with a typed suicide note beside her, her family assumes they understand what happened. But the autopsy tells a different story-subtle bruising, microscopic fibers under her nails, evidence of suffocation. Suddenly, a quiet death becomes a murder investigation, and everyone in this wealthy Boston family has secrets worth killing for. Sally Hepworth's psychological thriller doesn't just ask whodunit; it asks something far more unsettling: How well do we really know the people we live with, eat dinner with, claim to love? The novel became a sensation not because it's another family mystery, but because it exposes the dangerous gap between who we think our relatives are and who they actually might be. Every reader who has ever felt misunderstood by in-laws, every person who has smiled through tense holiday dinners while screaming inside, recognizes something uncomfortably familiar in these pages.
