There's so much food for thought in this complex, moreish, emotionally intelligent tale

You can always rely on Jane Fallon for a well-crafted, dryly-funny, just-one-more-chapter-before-I-turn-out-the-light read

Deliciously devious . . . A darkly comic and addictive read

I love Jane Fallon, she's in a category all of her own - her books are great fun and her characters are fabulous, believable women who take no nonsense

Fun and feisty women's fiction at its very best

Since she was a little girl Jen always wanted a big, happy family. Being an only child with just her lonely mother for company was too gloomy for Jen. So when she married Jason and became part of the Masterson clan - a family that could easily have appeared in an Enid Blyton novel - she got exactly what she wanted. For years everything was perfect. 
 
But then Jen sees something that she was never meant to see: a scratch on the gloss of her perfect life; a secret that will slowly but surely seep its way to the surface of her world and destroy everything in it.

The bestselling author of Getting Rid of Matthew and My Sweet Revenge tells a story of discovered secrets and the price of keeping them in her stunning novel Skeletons 
 
Jen has discovered a secret. 
It's not hers to share, but is it hers to keep? 
 
If she tells her husband Jason, he might get over the shock but will he forgive her for telling the truth? She might drive a wedge through their marriage. 
 
If she tells someone else in Jason's family - the family she's come to love more than her own - she'd not only tear them apart but could also find herself on the outside: she's never really been one of them, after all. 
 
But if she keeps this dirty little secret to herself, how long can she pretend nothing is wrong? How long can she live a lie? 
 
Jen knows the truth - but is she ready for the consequences?
