Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The bestselling author of the The Swap takes you “on a wild psychological ride with this addictive thriller” (Palm Beach Daily News) about what happens when a seemingly perfect family is pushed to the edge.
Thomas and Viv Adler are the envy of their neighbors: attractive, successful, with well-mannered children and a beautifully restored home.
Until one morning, when they wake up to find their porch has been pelted with eggs. It’s a prank, Thomas insists; the work of a few out-of-control kids. But when a smoke bomb is tossed on their front lawn, and their car’s tires are punctured, the family begins to worry.
Surveillance cameras show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies. And the police dismiss the attacks, insisting they’re just the work of bored teenagers. Unable to identify the perpetrators, the Adlers are helpless as the assaults escalate into violence, and worse. And each new violation brings with it a growing fear. Because everyone in the Adler family is keeping a secret—not just from the outside world, but from each other. And secrets can be very dangerous….
“Unsettling and darkly sublime, Robyn Harding deftly explores twisted family dynamics and devastating secrets in suburbia in this stunning novel that will shock readers by the final page” (Christina McDonald, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell).

“Classic family each with a secret they think is causing the attacks on their house & property. Each member of this nuclear family thinks their secret is the worst. The dad might have abused a stripper, the mom is a klepto, the underage daughter has an OnlyFans & the son watched a fellow teammate get sexually assaulted but did nothing about it. They present as the “perfect family” but clearly behind closed doors aren’t. Fun & fast paced read I got through in 1 sitting which I needed after my previous couple of books had been long & not great. This is a great read and also Robyn Harding is always a winner!”
