*WINNER Crime Novel of the Year 2025*
*AN INSTANT NO.1 BESTSELLER*

Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person?

Susan sends her sister a gossipy message about their neighbour. But she accidentally posts it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group instead.

It’s an innocent mistake that could happen to anyone, but rumours quickly spread and the backlash spirals. Soon that one wrong message leads to murder.

A local woman is found dead, but when Susan listens to the news report, she realises that the victim had the same address as her but in a different part of town.

The killer may have got the wrong victim - they may be coming for her next.
