En ung kvinna anklagar en av ministrarna i den brittiska regeringen för ett fruktansvärt brott. James Whitehouse är framgångsrik och omtyckt, med nära band till premiärministern. För frun Sophie kommer anklagelserna som en chock. Hon är fast besluten om att skydda sin familj och det privilegierade liv de lever. Kate Woodcroft är en erfaren brottmålsadvokat, specialist på sexualbrott, och den som får uppdraget att driva fallet. Hon vet att rättskipning i praktiken handlar om vem som argumenterar bäst, men denna gång är hon övertygad om att James är skyldig och att han måste få sitt straff. En roman som är lika delar äktenskapsdrama och rättegångsthriller, om mäns maktmissbruk och samhällselitens tystnad.

From the author of NETFLIX SENSATION ANATOMY OF A SCANDALThere are many reasons to bake: to feed; to impress; and, sometimes, it has to be said, to perfect. In 1966, Kathleen Eaden published The Art of Baking, her guide to nurturing a family by creating the most exquisite pastries. Now, five amateur bakers are competing to become the New Mrs Eaden. There's Jenny, facing an empty nest; Claire, who has sacrificed her dreams; Mike, trying to parent after his wife's death; Vicki, who has dropped everything to be with her baby boy; and perfect Karen, who knows what it's like to have nothing and is determined her façade shouldn't slip. As unlikely alliances are forged, making the choicest choux bun seems the least of the contestants' problems. For they will learn - as Mrs Eaden did before them - that while perfection is possible in the kitchen, it's very much harder in life.'Delicious . . . Friendship, rivalry and exposed secrets, all gorgeously told' - Elle'Clever and compelling. I loved this' Nina Stibbe
