I loved Macmillan's first novel and this one is equally great. The title refers to Zoe Maisey, a teenager who is also a gifted pianist. But at the age of 14 she made a mistake and it cost the lives of three of her classmates. She has to pay the price. Her parents also paid the price in the form of a divorce. After being released her mother, Maria, is determined to get Zoe's life back on track. So they move away and decide not to tell anyone about Zoe's past.
When the novel begins Zoe is ready to give a recital that Maria has planned for months. She will share the stage with Lucas who is her step-brother. Maria and Chris met because of their children's piano interests. Now they are married and there is also Grace, a new baby sister.
The recital does not go as planned and by the next morning Maria is dead. The story takes place during a few days and is told from the point of view of several of the characters.
