She's not who you think she is . . .
'I could probably have been an actress.
It is not difficult to pretend to be somebody else.
Isn't that what I've been doing for most of my life?'
Cordelia Russell has been living on the French Riviera for twenty-five years, passing herself off as an English socialite. But her luck, and the kindness of strangers, have run out.
The arrival of a visitor from her distant past shocks Cordelia. She reacts violently to the intrusion and flees her flat to spend a drunken night at a glittering party. As dawn breaks she stumbles home through the back streets. Even before she opens her door she can hear the flies buzzing. She did not expect the corpse inside to start decomposing quite so quickly . . .
'Pure genius. Absolutely brilliant' Shari Lapena

Critic reviews
This genre of crime, thriller and suspense used to be one of my favorites until a few years ago, now I find it filled with books of ridiculous plot lines, alcoholic female characters or just shock value writing with no substance.
Here Liz Nugent has written a powerful book. He female lead Delia is rather unpleasant but she is a victim of circumstance from her unusual childhood on a small Irish island.
That said Delia could have had an epiphany moment and seen the error of her ways but that would not have make such a good book.
The story takes you in on a ride after the epilogue, and its umput down able there on in.
Delia's life is unraveled over most of the chapters and this would be a great book on its own. Just near the point when you think I wonder where this is going now it all starts to twist and turn and you follow the rollercoaster ride to the end.
Thoroughly recommend and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Beauty is skin deep, ugly goes much deeper.
