You can read the official synopsis for the novel below.
Be careful who you tell your darkest secrets to…
Selena Murphy is returning home from work in town when the train stalls on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is quick and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she is stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to see each other again.
But a few days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.
Soon, Selena finds her once-perfect life turned upside down. As she’s drawn into the mystery of the missing nanny and the rifts in her marriage deepen, Selena begins to wonder who Martha really was? But she is hardly prepared for what she is about to discover.
