FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SWEET LITTLE LIES COMES A DARK AND TWISTY THRILLER ABOUT SECRETS, LIES AND REVENGE. PERFECT FOR FANS OF LIANE MORIARTY, LAURA MARSHALL AND T. M. LOGAN. ONE WOMAN'S SECRETTWO SIDES TO EVERY STORYTHREE DEADLY BETRAYALSFOUR POTENTIAL SUSPECTSFIVE BAD DEEDS 'A big high five for Caz Frear's Five Bad Deeds - a page-gripping, nail-gnawing good read' Cara Hunter, Sunday Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family 'A deliciously dark story of how one woman's life of seemingly domestic bliss can unravel faster than she ever thought possible. I predict it will be one of the big hits of 2024 - I loved it' Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party 'Deliciously waspish, twisty, and relatable' Claire McGowan, author of Are You Awake? Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . . Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail declaring:SOONER OR LATER EVERYONE SITS DOWN TO A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES. Why would someone send her this note? Ellen has no clue. She's no angel - a white lie here and there, an occasional sharp tongue - but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy. Everyone around Ellen - her husband, her teenage daughter, her sister, her best friend, her neighbours - can guess why, though. They all know from bitter experience that while Ellen's intentions are always good, this ultimately counts for very little when you've (unintentionally?) blown up someone's life. Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?As she races to discover who's set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more anonymous messages, each one more threatening than the last . . . and each hitting closer and closer to home and everything she cherishes.Praise for Five Bad Deeds: 'A dark, addictive, suburban nightmare.
