FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WIFE



It was only meant to be a prank . . .


May has always been the good girl, the rule follower.

But even good girls have secrets.

When she reunites with her two best friends for a holiday in the Hamptons, a drunken joke lands the trio in the middle of a missing persons investigation.

As the case takes a deadly turn, and long buried secrets are uncovered, the three friends are suddenly unsure who they can trust, least of all each other.

Praise for this book

"No one lands plot twists like Alafair Burke, and THE NOTE may be her best novel yet." - Harlan Coben

"The Note hits the ground running, rocking and rolling from the very first page. Alafair Burke knows how to build a thriller that picks up more speed as it goes, all the while telling a story about lives turned upside down by one wrong move." - Michael Connelly

"I absolutely loved The Note. Trust no one in this irresistable page turner." - Ashley Elston

"WHAT?! That's what I kept saying over and over again while reading The Note. Betrayals. Lies. Love. Friendships. And twists - oh, the twists! Utterly immersive and addictive, populated by people we all know, who frustrate us, who don't know how to love us but who are there for us until the end." - Rachel Howzell Hall

"Alafair Burke is at the top of her game with this timely, suspenseful novel about fierce female friendships. Full of red herrings and misdirection, The Note is a breathtaking, read-in-one-sitting thriller that kept me guessing the whole way through. I absolutely loved it." - Jennifer Hillier

"When a girls' weekend away goes wrong, everyone looks to the past for answers. A twisty, fast-paced thriller about friendships, betrayal, and loyalty." - Nita Prose

"With The Note, Alafair Burke ups her already strong game of deviously smart plotting and strong, believable female characters to deliver her most thrilling and entertaining novel." - Karin Slaughter
