A new home. A loving wife. A secret that could kill…
With its peeling wallpaper and overgrown garden I know our new home isn’t perfect. But my husband Ben promises it’s the fresh start we need. I remind myself that he’s an amazing father to our two children, and that we have years of happy marriage behind us. He’s been distant for months but I’m desperate to believe the move will bring us back together.
When I meet our next-door neighbour Sara, I’m immediately relieved. She’s so welcoming and full of local gossip. But the moment she meets Ben I’m sure an angry frown flickers across her smiling face. Later he says I’m imagining things…
Why is my husband lying?
Then one night as I tuck our children into bed, the silence is broken by a knock on the front door. A stranger is standing on our doorstep. I turn to look at Ben’s face as he stares at her with unconcealed fury. Has he met this woman before? Nothing could prepare me for what she says:I know who you are. Get out of my house.
How well do I know the man I married? And by moving to this house, did I put my children’s lives in danger?

My thoughts: there’s something not quite right about the house the family has just moved into. What happened to the previous residents? Are they connected to a little girl who disappeared years ago? Ben is acting very strangely, and Sara’s boyfriend is too.
As Naomi attempts to find out what is going on in her new home with her children and husband, while heavily pregnant. She doesn’t know who to lean on, having moved away from all their old friends. She wants to trust Sara next door, but can she?
It all gets a bit unhinged at times, with a series of awful events that threaten Naomi’s life and then Sara’s. Who is behind all of this? And why? Dark and twisted, this isn’t a family getting their happily ever after any time soon.
