They came for an inheritance. They stayed for revenge.
Annabelle Marconi thought she’d already lost everything—first her father to cancer, then her mother in a brutal hit-and-run. But the worst blow comes at their double funeral, when a woman named Mary steps forward… with Annabelle’s half-brother, David.
The revelation of her father’s secret life shatters the family. Still reeling, Annabelle’s siblings make a reckless decision: they invite Mary and David to stay at the family ranch while the estate is settled. Annabelle can’t shake the feeling something is off—and when a strange car
begins following her and her sister suddenly falls dangerously ill, her instincts are proven right.
Someone is determined to erase the Marconi family for good. As paranoia spirals into terror, Annabelle must unearth the truth about her father’s past—and face a chilling question: What if the enemy is already inside the house?
Theo Baxter loves writing psychological suspense thrillers. It’s all about that last reveal that he loves shocking readers with.
He grew up in New York, where there was crime all around. He decided to turn that into something positive with his fiction.
His stories will have you reading through the night—they are very addictive!
My thoughts: This was very, very good. I really liked Annabelle, she had excellent instincts and knew there was something about Mary and David that wasn’t right. But her siblings, especially Isabel, were stubborn and wouldn’t listen to her or do any due diligence – like hire a PI, which would have saved them all a lot of trouble and from nearly dying.
Thankfully the apparently disinterested detective at the police was paying attention and did his job, investigating Annabelle’s concerns, from being followed by a strange car, to Isabel’s poisoning, her medication going missing, someone prowling around the family ranch. Because they were all in danger.
That final twist, did not expect that. Shocking and edge of the seat stuff. So good.
