Publisher Description

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Not a Happy Family

“The twists come as fast [as] you can turn the pages.” —People

“I read this novel at one sitting, absolutely riveted by the storyline.  The suspense was beautifully rendered and unrelenting!” —Sue Grafton

It all started at a dinner party. . .

A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors—a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives. . .

Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night, when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately lands on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years. 

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family—a chilling tale of  deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“The amount of twists in this story is crazy. I was left speechless the whole time, i couldn't predict what would happen next.”

“I really enjoyed this! I flew through it- it was very fast paced and entertaining. It was very twisty, I genuinely wasn’t sure where it was going to go. I didn’t love the “just because you’re mentally ill you’re also violent” but other than that it was great. Was it far fetched? Sure. But was it entertaining? Absolutely. Definitely my favorite Shari Lapena book I’ve read so far.”
