Everyone has a secret.
April Moon’s was killer.
From
the international bestselling author of The Bones of You comes a haunting and
heartbreaking new psychological thriller about a man thrust into the middle of
a murder investigation, forced to confront the secrets of his ex-lover’s past.
“I was fourteen when I fell in love with a goddess…”
So begins the testimony of Noah Calaway, an
ex-lawyer with a sideline in armchair criminal psychology. Now living an
aimless life in an inherited cottage in the English countryside, Noah is
haunted by the memory of the beguiling young woman who left him at the altar
sixteen years earlier.
Then one day he receives a troubling phone
call. April, the woman he once loved, lies in a coma, the victim of an apparent
overdose—and the lead suspect in the brutal murder of her stepfather. Deep in
his bones, Noah believes that April is innocent. Then again, he also believed
they would spend the rest of their lives together.
While Noah searches for evidence that will
clear April’s name, a teenager named Ella begins to sift through the secrets of
her own painful family history. The same age as April was when Noah first met
her, Ella harbors a revelation that could be the key to solving the murder. As
the two stories converge, there are shocking consequences when at last, the
truth emerges.
Or so
everyone believes…
Set in a borderland where the past casts its
shadow on the present, with a time-shifting narrative that will mesmerize and
surprise, The Beauty of the End is both a masterpiece of suspense and a
powerful rumination on lost love.
