' Everyone has secrets. And now, one of mine is yours. . . ' Best friends Hollie and Niamh tell each other everything. Behind the village of Abingworth' s closed doors, every family has its secrets - and their doors might hide the worst ones of all. One day Hollie tells Niamh about a devastating discovery, swears her to secrecy, then vanishes. The villagers claim to know nothing. But when Hollie' s body is found, the police know one of their number isn' t just a liar, but a killer. . . What did Hollie tell Niamh before she died? And who would kill to keep it hidden? After all, two can keep a secret - if one of them is dead. . . A completely unputdownable suspense novel that will leave you reeling at the final twist. . .

Praise for Debbie Howells:' A dazzling debut from a writer who looks to me to have an exceptional future. Howells' novel has a rare freshness and depth that set her apart' Daily Mail' Sharply written with characters that keep you guessing until the very last page, this story holds you tight and then drops you like a stone' Liz Nugent' A terrific new talent. She paints with words and takes a scalpel to emotions' Peter James' Haunting' Good Housekeeping' I was completely immersed for the entire time and couldn' t wait to find out what happened next. A superb thriller' B. P. Walter' I raced through this book, compelled to keep turning the pages to unravel the secrets. Kept me guessing right until the last moment. Trust NO ONE! A sinister, twisty tale you won' t want to put down' Sam Carrington' The Vow is a well-crafted whodunnit, with enough red herrings to keep you guessing until the end. An intriguing plot with a host of characters that leave you wondering who you can trust!' Wendy Clarke
After self-publishing three women' s commercial fiction novels, Debbie wrote The Bones of You, her first psychological thriller. It was a Sunday Times bestseller and picked for the Richard and Judy book club. Three more have followed, The Beauty of The End, The Death of Her and Her Sister' s Lie, all published by Pan Macmillan. Her latest book, The Vow, will be published by Avon later this year. After a number of career changes, Debbie now writes full time, inspired by the peacefulness of the countryside she lives in with her partner Martin, Bean the rescued cat and a rather elderly golden retriever called Bernard.
