April was the first person Hannah met at Oxford.<\/p>\n

Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It Girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit, along with Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily. By the end of the term, the six were fast friends. By the end of the year, April was dead.<\/p>\n

Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, John Neville, has died in prison. But Hannah\u2019s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking with evidence that throws everything in doubt, and Hannah is forced to ask, did her testimony put an innocent man in prison?<\/p>\n

She needs to know the truth.<\/p>\n

Because if the killer wasn\u2019t Neville, it’s someone she knows\u2026<\/p>\n
