Even good people do bad things…
Ten years ago, eighteen-year-old Ariana Callum disappeared on the eve of her high school graduation in one of the most gruesome crimes Miami has ever seen. Everyone thinks they know what happened to her that night, but her best friend, Delphine Quin, knows more than she’s willing to admit. After all, she was at Ariana’s house moments before she disappeared…
Today, Delphine is the embodiment of the perfect woman who has it all: a loving husband, a beautiful home and a company on the verge of going public. All traces of her friendship with Ariana have been erased, as if their lives never intersected at all. That is until Ariana shows up in Miami one day, very much alive. Terrified that Ariana’s reappearance will jeopardise her perfect life, Delphine reaches out to her high school sweetheart, Ryan Martinez, the key to her alibi for the night of Ariana’s disappearance. But Ryan harbours a dark secret of his own and he’ll do anything to ensure it never comes to light.
Will the secrets they’ve kept buried for ten years finally surface and destroy their perfect lives?
Bad Things is a dark, character-driven thriller which will strike a chord with fans of Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects, Megan Miranda’s All the Missing Girls and Jessica Knoll’s Luckiest Girl Alive.
