After giving up on love, becoming a successful thriller screenwriter is the next best thing, right? She'll do anything to escape her family's failing vineyard and unrequited love for her best friend Marc. Then the opportunity of a lifetime arrives in her small town as renowned film producer Allen Michaels offers her a ticket to a better future. But not without a cost . It can't be coincidence that as Haley begins working with Allen she starts receiving strange threats. It can't be fate that Marc at last wants something more when she's already got one foot out the door. And it can't be safe when Haley uncovers a bone-chilling secret about why Allen showed up in her obscure town in the first place. When a body is found buried in Marc's backyard, Haley doesn't know who to believe anymore. Allen claims Marc is dangerous. Marc claims he's been framed.

"An addictive psychological thriller with a twist ending you won't see coming!" - reader review ★★★★★ "Obsession and tension have hit a whole new level...this book will keep you HOOKED!" - reader review ★★★★★ What Readers Are Saying About Pamela Crane: "You are not prepared for the twists...Pamela Crane has in store for you." - POPSUGAR "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge... A satisfying read that has echoes of Liane Moriarty and of Emily Giffin's All We Ever Wanted ." - Booklist "Pamela Crane's anthem to female friendship and the empowerment of women proves one thing. Friends will do anything for each other...including lie, cheat in bed, and kill. Crane's deft treatment of this theme makes the besties in Little Deadly Secrets friends you'd want as your own...despite the fizzy cocktail of secrecy, betrayal, and deception they pour on every page. This novel is a read for our tumultuous times ." - Jenny Milchman, Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author of Cover of Snow and The Second Mother " One of the most chilling opening scenes I've ever read , and the tension keeps right on building. My advice: don't read this book...unless you're prepared not to put it down until you're finished!" - New York Times Bestselling Author Wendy Corsi Staub "I loved it! It's so well written, with sharply observed characters and the kind of fast-paced, twisty plot that keeps you turning the pages..." - Sunday Times and international bestselling author Debbie Howells "There is always great depth to Pamela's writing and this is no exception. Amidst a cleverly constructed psychological thriller that pulls you along from one page to the next, we are treated to the deconstruction of a friendship between Robin, Mackenzie and Lily. It's sad, infuriating but fascinating too. Once Pamela has pulled it all together, and the pieces fit into place you are left with a brilliantly told tale, a mystery is solved, and justice is served but what of the friendship...? You'll have to read it to find out but I promise, you won't be disappointed." - bestselling author Patricia Dixon "This was an incredibly fast-paced, heart racing, and twisty thriller with a great ending. The changing narratives truly keeps you on the edge of your seat, which leaves you guessing as to what the end result was going to be. Readers will find it a compelling read from start to finish." - The Nerd Daily "A deeply profound and memorable story. It is well-written and intricately plotted. Highly recommended." - Fresh Fiction "Wow, wow, WOW!! It's 3:15am and I have just finished this amazing book after not being able to put it down!" - NetGalley Review "I was blown away. If you loved Big Little Lies , you'll love this !" - NetGalley Review "The opening of this book goes from 0 to 100, instantly drawing you in: a serene and peaceful setting to 'woahhh I have GOT to see what happens here'" - NetGalley Review To know PAMELA CRANE, you first need to know her husband. He sleeps with one eye open. He checks the knife block to make sure none are missing. Why? It could be because they have four kids and a farm full of mischievous animals. Or it could be because she writes thrillers and mysteries, and about the occasional woman who has lost her marbles (not based on her own psyche, she swears!). Don't worry—her husband is safe...for now. Her books range from witty whodunnits to psychological suspense and even humorous women's fiction thrown in for good measure. She's a USA TODAY bestselling author of over a dozen novels (who's counting?), but her biggest accomplishment is keeping her zoo of animals alive...and her husband in check.
