One rumour. Three women. A summer where nothing stays hidden...This gripping, suspenseful debut is the perfect beach read for fans of Liane Moriarty!

When the peace shatters in suburbia, the claws come out...

Welcome to the Briar Heart Estate - where the lawns are perfectly manicured, friendships are fragile, and everyone knows everyone else's business.

Coralie, Emma and Twig are neighbours. They smile. They judge. And they always keep up appearances.

Then Coralie's husband swears he saw a panther on the bonnet of his car. And one sweltering summer descends into a frenzy of paranoia, gossip and rivalry. But it's not the wild cat the estate should be worried about.

It's the women next door...
