None of them would forget that week on the wild Norfolk coast.

Best friends Rosie and Lisa's families had always been inseparable. But that summer, Lisa had an affair with Rosie's husband Nick. And now, after years of silence, she sends Rosie a letter begging for help. A letter which exposes dark secrets.

Daughter Daisy's fragile hold on reality begins to unravel. Teenage son Max blames himself for everything that happened that long hot summer. And Nick must confront his own version of events.

There are four sides to this story. Who will you believe?

MEDIA REVIEWS

Sometimes there are four sides to a story - but which one will you believe in the engrossing RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK, The Betrayals - from the publisher's description

A rollicking read that should not be picked up at bedtime, or you'll be done for in terms of a good night's sleep. Neill is brilliant at capturing the wrong turns people make and the consequences that follow - Stylist

Exquisitely drawn and perfectly realised, no one writes about modern family with more truth and authenticity than Fiona Neill. She nails it every single time - Lisa Jewell, Sunday Times bestselling author of I Found You

A vivid and insightful portrayal of a family in crisis; Neill's writing is incisive, smart and at times darkly funny. A writer at the top of her game; I will be telling everybody I know about this book - Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times bestselling author of Everything but the Truth

Telling the story of four intriguing family members in the years following an affair and a break-up, the cleverly structured plot revolves around psychology: particularly how people perceive and recall the same events differently. The Betrayals is thought-provoking and stands out from the crowd - Grazia

Neill's plotting is beyond compare . . . Weaving an utterly absorbing account of deception and desire, Neill leaves you asking the question: Which voice can you trust? - Nicola Moriarty, author of The Fifth Letter

I thoroughly enjoyed this brilliantly observed novel about a family in meltdown. I have never read anything by Fiona Neill before, but after reading this totally absorbing tale, that is a situation I intend to rectify - Kathryn Hughes, Number One Kindle bestselling author of The Letter

Praise for The Good Girl - -

Tapping into the issues of the day . . . this is a novel made for heated book club debates - Stylist

Sometimes touching, sometimes shocking... this cautionary coming-of-age tale is a thought-provoking one - Daily Mail

“Rich in subtext and human frailty”

The Betrayals, indeed. How many can you comfortably fit in one book?! Quite a few, is the answer, as ably shown by this clever novel. Whew! Let me catch my breath. I didn't see that ending coming and I'm... More

I love reading about relationships. The Betrayals captured my attention from the first page right up to the very last word. A husband and wife relationship torn apart. The marriage had been over for years.... More
