About this listen

Forty years ago

It should have been the happiest night of her sister's life when she was crowned Miss Sunshine Sands.

But that was the last time she was seen alive, and all they ever found was her pink satin sash washed up on the shore.

Now

Journalist Zoe Kincade arrives in the rundown seaside town of Sunshine Sands to report on this year's talent show. The motionless Ferris wheel blurs into the dark sea beyond and polystyrene chip trays bounce along the pavement.

She checks into the Forget-Me-Not hotel, a faded Edwardian terrace that has seen better days, the place her beautiful older sister Jane stayed the night she disappeared.

Zoe has spent forty years trying to block out the pain. The aftermath of that night destroyed her chance of a happy marriage and living in any kind of peace.

She was only a little girl when Jane vanished. She just remembers how much she loved her big sister.

Now, Zoe is determined to find out what really happened. She will make them pay for taking Jane from her. And no amount of glitter and sparkle can hide the dark truth of that night.

This gripping and twisty thriller is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Mary Kubica, Daniel Hurst, Claire Douglas, Chris Whitaker or Jane E. James.
