A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Lapena’s books are addictive!”—Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

“Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world...She is intensely bingeable.” —Lisa Jewell
It all started at a dinner party. . .

A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors—a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives. . .

Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night, when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately lands on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years.

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family—a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.

I enjoyed the narrator and the beginning of the story but as it went on it was too easy to put all the pieces together. For all the hype I heard about this book it was nothing close to being that good.

Good Narration, predictable story.

Plot very suspense filled. It’s what kept me reading.

Characters well developed.

I hated being involved I even vicariously. With these people.

Really dysfunctional families

Trying to not give a spoiler: was easy to predict who the bad guy was quite early on in the novel. Worst part was the unbelievable consequences to one of the participants of a crime.

Unsatisfying
