## Description

From the instant USA TODAY bestselling author comes a sparkling new thriller... 'I raced through this book... SO many secrets that will keep you reading late into the night!' 'The best psychological thriller I've read for a very long time' 'THE PLOT TWISTS!!!' 'Claustrophobic, poignant, layered . . . a thoroughly compelling read' 'Everything a thriller should be: fast, twisty and impossible to put down' 'The characterisation was compulsive and the twists were brilliant' 'The ending is a total game-changer that makes you want to go back and re-read the whole thing to see what you missed' 'A sharp, atmospheric page‑turner with a wicked sense of timing - and a body count to match' It was a beauty pageant . . . now it's a crime scene. Twenty-five years ago, Isabelle Whitmore vanished without a trace during the Lone Star Princess Pageant in Anhalt, Texas. This year, the pageant is offering more than just its annual dose of rhinestone heels and plunging necklines - Isabelle's sister, Ingrid Whitmore, is back and looking for revenge. But just as confrontations and old rivalries reach their boiling point, the temperature plummets: record-breaking snow and freezing rain bring down the state's entire power grid. With everyone trapped under one roof, secrets will be spilled, scores will be settled - and more than one beautiful liar will end up dead.
