About the book:

Buried secrets are dangerous. Unearthing them might be deadly...

Laurie Dunn has returned to her childhood attic bedroom and her old nightmares have come rushing back. Terrorised by a client-related mugging, her job as a criminal solicitor causes more problems than solutions.

Finn Ballentine yearns for a fresh start, but even the glossy façade of his new law firm can't protect him from the past he's running from.

After a disturbing remark by her confused father, Laurie joins forces with Finn to uncover dark truths. But the long-buried secrets they unearth are laced with danger for them both.  

'In the very top tier of psychological thrillers.' - M W Craven

Tense, disturbing and clever, Behind Her Smile is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Claire Douglas.
