The couple on Cedar Close

Anna-Lou Weatherley

One sunny August afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry-tree lined street, tables are laden with food, and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it is her first time meeting the neighbours. And it is the first time she discovers her husband Robert is having an affair. Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don't happen. Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom. Downstairs, in their beautiful kitchen, his wife Laurie sits alone in the dark with her head in her hands. She can't remember the last few hours, but she knows she didn't kill Robert. The trouble is, no-one believes her. This is an utterly gripping page-turner about the dark secrets that lie behind closed doors
