Reclusive Clare Collins crafts her novels like she crafts her life: perfectly. So the world is stunned when the famous author is found dead on the beach from a self-inflicted gunshot --- the morning after her latest book hits the shelves.

Her sister, Eileen, is at a loss. Clare led a charmed life. Why would she throw it all away? But while reading through her sister's latest --- and greatest --- novel, Eileen discovers a clue that unravels the fiction and reveals the painful truth. Suddenly, the life that Eileen had envied doesn't seem so sparkling.

HER PERFECT LIFE is a page-turning debut that reminds us that no matter the success, everyone has secrets. And some are more devastating than others.
