ABOUT THE BOOK
Five women. One dead body. And a secret that could destroy them all.
In this gripping murder mystery, a close-knit circle of longtime friends—most of them mothers juggling the chaos of everyday life—are thrust into a harrowing game of secrets and survival.
When two of them find themselves in a situation where they could potentially be accused of murder, the group makes an unthinkable choice: hide a body to protect one another.
What begins as an act of loyalty quickly spirals into a tangled web of lies, buried pasts, and fractured trust. Friendships are tested, and old wounds resurface.
They’ve weathered decades together—marriages, children, and all of life’s messes. But nothing could prepare them for the secrets Laila carried… or the cost of keeping it.
How well do you really know your partner—or your oldest friends?
A suspenseful story of fierce loyalty, hidden pain, and the darkness that lies just beneath the surface. Because sometimes, the people you trust the most are the ones with the most to hide.
