About this eBook
A Sunday Times and Observer Thriller of the Month
'Deliciously good . . . Swanson's best thriller yet.' Observer
'Gripping, twisty . . . I could not put it down.' Alafair Burke
When Hen and Lloyd move into their new house, they're relieved to meet another childless couple in their neighbourhood, Matthew and Mira.
But when they're invited over for dinner, Hen thinks she sees something suspicious in Matthew's study.
Could this mild-mannered schoolteacher really be hiding a dark secret, one that only Hen might know about? And even if she's right, who would believe her?

This book had me hooked from the very first page. I've read Peter Swanson's other books and loved them so was eager to read this one. The story was gripping and I read it at every spare moment. Good twisty storyline just as I like them! However the last tenth of the book went downhill for me. I was unknowingly reading the last chapter waiting for a stunning twisted ending, turned the page only to find that was the end of the book! I couldn't believe it and was so disappointed! For me, his worst book yet.
