That beautiful house, however, holds a secret. And when Lydia’s son, Laurence, discovers its secret, wheels are set in motion that lead to an increasingly claustrophobic and devastatingly dark climax.For fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn, this novel is a “seductively sinister story. The twists come together in a superbly scary denouement, which delivers a final sting in the tail. Brilliantly macabre” (Sunday Mirror).

“My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it.” I was hooked from the first line to the last line and stayed up to finish the book to see how it would end. The book alternates between the main characters to see their point of view and has several twist and a great ending.
