Anyone who has read Gone Girl will love this crime novel. A young woman is beaten to death in the city park. Mia, a veterinarian, lives nearby. One day, her best friend from childhood days, the charming and successful Jay, disappears without a trace. She left a letter to her husband behind, asking him not to pursue her. Mia immediately suspects foul play when she realizes that Jay resembles the dead woman from the park. Where is Jay? Nobody seems to care, except for Mia. Their friends are acting strangely and seem to be hiding something. On her search for Jay, Mia starts to face a nightmare. She becomes entangled in a web of lies, intrigue, hatred and betrayal. Unbridled anger ignites, and nothing is as it seems... What are the friends hiding? A breathtaking psychological thriller about love, desire, envy and hate - and friendship which is no one at all.

This is our new home, says Mommy. Poppy, you know you never have to hide from me, right?, he says. He's got a face like a bowling ball, says Grandma. Express yourselves clearly, class, just say exactly what you mean, says the teacher. Help me, thinks Poppy. Poppy is a six-year-old girl who lives with her mother in a rundown suburban neighborhood. One day, they move into a luxurious mansion with her mother's new partner. Poppy's mother is happy. She can finally buy anything she wants. This new Daddy or Mr. Rich, as the young girl calls him, makes Poppy every wish come true. He showers her with gifts, washes her hair three times a week and takes her on long journeys in his big car, just the two of them. He calls her his little wife. In fact, everything would be just great, if it wasn't for one thing.
