Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“Poised and chilling.” —Wall Street Journal

“No-one does suburban paranoia like Shari Lapena—this slowly unfurling nightmare will have you biting your nails until the end.” Ruth Ware

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family

Maybe you don't know your neighbors as well as you thought you did . . .

"This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much. . . My son broke into your home recently while you were out."

In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses--and into the owners' computers as well--learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.

Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their own secrets?

In this neighborhood, it's not just the husbands and wives who play games. Here, everyone in the family has something to hide . . .

You never really know what people are capable of.

    I enjoyed this book. It maintained a good pace and kept me on my toes and engaged throughout. There were some plot points that left me hanging but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

    I absolutely love her books. If you are looking for a page turner with so many suspects you don’t know who to pick, then find out it’s someone you didn’t expect, the this one is for you. Thank you again for another great murder mystery, Ms. Lapena!
  • Good quick light read

    Moves at a clipped pace and keeps one’s attention although not particularly memorable in any way
  • Never saw it coming

    This book reads like stereo instructions… Incredibly bland and ultimately disappointing.

    this book is my all time favorite it has a perfect mix of mystery and thriller it’s that book where you think you know who it is but in reality it’s not the person you think i’ve reread this book about 4 times it’s so good 10/10.
  • Easy to follow all the characters

    Many different eggs in the basket with this one. Shari does a great job of preventing confusion between characters. I read this over a span of time and that says a lot because I could have easily gotten confused with so many characters but never did. Lots of twists and turns. Often, I guess the killer with books like these but didn’t see this one coming! Its no “My Lovely Wife,” but its worth reading
  • Loved it !

    Kept me on my toes to be honest. Held my interest and didn’t feel as though their were any lulls in the story. I did grow a bit impatient closer to the end because I was dying to know who the culprit was. I’m no detective but I also didn’t feel like one would’ve guessed who done it easily either, unless you’re really paying attention. Would definitely recommend for a good murder mystery.
  • Great twists and turns!
