Personal Affairs

Siara has everything one could wish for — a loving husband, well-behaved children, a beautiful home, and a popular blog about motherhood and beauty. People turn to her for advice, admire her, and take her as an example. A perfect picture, worthy of a glossy cover. But what happens in her home when the cameras are turned off? The ideal life shatters in an instant when Siara is found murdered in her own home. Subscribers are outraged! Who dared wish death upon Miss Perfection?

In our world, any murder, even the bloodiest, can be easily hidden under colorful filters... • BOOK OF THE YEAR according to Elle, Harper's Bazaar, CrimeReads “Bowes masterfully creates deeply developed and completely alive characters in her powerful, soul-chilling debut.” — Liv Constantine, author of the bestseller “The Last Mrs. Parrish”
