Publisher's Summary

Sophia was made for him, her perfect husband. She can feel it in her bones. He is perfect; their home together in Arcadia Gardens is perfect; everything is perfect. It's just that he's away so much - so often. He works so hard. She misses him, and he misses her. He says he does, so it must be true. He is the perfect husband, and everything is perfect.

But sometimes Sophia wonders about things - strange things, dark things - the look on her husband's face when he comes back from a long business trip, the questions he will not answer, the locked basement she is never allowed to enter. And whenever she asks the neighbors, they can't quite meet her gaze.... But everything is perfect - isn't it?

The reveal was so much better than I expected

I spent the entire book thinking the twist was going to be completely different, and I loved it so much more.

This book knows exactly what it is. It has a great pace, and doesn’t use fluff or filler to make it longer than it needs to be. It makes a more profound statement than books 5 times its length trying to do the same thing.

I loved it.
