You are one of five strangers whose day will start with the worst phone call imaginable.

Your loved one is in danger.

They are part of a group trapped in a café in a sleepy marina town.

The young barista on the early shift
The bestselling novelist looking for a writing spot
The husband on his way back from a work trip
The influencer mum whose picture-perfect life isn’t the whole truth
The woman starting her birthday with a quiet coffee

As the hours tick by it will soon become clear that one of them has a secret they would kill to keep.

How well do you know the person closest to you?

‘Makes you question how well we ever really know those closest to us. Tense, twisty and unputdownable’ Asia Mackay

‘I’m blown away by Heidi’s plotting. It Ends Here is so compulsive and gripping, brilliantly constructed. She’s at the top of her game, an absolute superhero of the genre – so impressive’ Sabine Durrant

‘A gripping exploration of how well we know the people we love. You'll immediately want to discuss this book with all of your friends’ Kelly Mullen
