TYCE'Funny sad witty and very engaging' - EMMA CURTISEveryone needs a hobby... Things haven't
been going well for Beth. Her husband has left her for one of her friends. Her fellow school
mums judge her for swearing too much and not shifting the baby weight. And now she's stuck in
A&E after her son fell off the climbing wall on the first day of school. In fact things
haven't been going well for Beth since Charlotte died - her best friend a favourite at the
school pick-ups and the only person to ever run an interesting PTA meeting. But after being hit
by a car while on an ill-timed evening jog Charlotte is no longer there to help Beth pick up
the pieces of her increasingly difficult life. That is until Beth discovers that Charlotte
left her toddler alone in the house during that fatal run. The Charlotte she knew would never
do something so irresponsible and suddenly Beth is questioning whether Charlotte's death was
really an accident. With a newfound purpose and a glass of wine in hand it's time for Beth to
uncover what really happened to her best friend. And what better place to start than the circle
of chatty school mums who can't be as perfect as they pretend. But which of them is hiding
something? Beth's determined to find out. Once she's put the kids to bed of course... 'Darkly
