    Publisher Description

    DON'T MISS THE ORIGINAL SERIES—NOW AVAILABLE ON PBS!


    A disturbing and addictive novel of domestic suspense from an internationally bestselling author, where secrets kept hidden from spouses cause shocking surprises that hit home...


    There's nothing unusual about a new family moving in at 91 Trinity Avenue. Except it's her house. And she didn't sell it.


    Fiona Lawson is sure there's been a mistake when she comes home to find strangers moving into her house. She and her estranged husband, Bram, have a modern coparenting arrangement: bird's nest custody, where each parent spends a few nights a week with their two sons at the prized family home to maintain stability for their children. But the system built to protect their family ends up putting them in terrible jeopardy. In a domino effect of crimes and misdemeanors, the nest comes tumbling down.


    Now Bram has disappeared, and so have Fiona's children. As events spiral well beyond her control, Fiona will discover just how many lies her husband was weaving and how little they truly know each other. Bram's not the only one with things to hide, though, and some secrets are best kept to oneself, safe as houses.

    British author Candlish makes her U.S. debut with an artfully plotted, affecting page-turner. Fiona Lawson gets the shock of her life when she returns from a brief getaway to the beloved London townhouse where she alternates custody with her estranged husband, Bram, of their two children: another family seems to be moving in. Bram has apparently sold the home out from under her and the kids and vanished, along with the 2 million payday. Even more devastating betrayals await the doughty Fi. Alternating narratives one Fi's, the other Bram's raise the tension. In a particularly inspired move, much of Fi's account comes via her emotionally raw tale on a true crime podcast, The Victim, with tweets from the audience serving as a kind of Greek chorus. Movingly chronicling the decline of a marriage that once looked as solid as the couple's stately red-brick residence, Candlish manages to stash a couple of trump cards, setting up a truly killer climax. American fans of domestic suspense will want to see more from this talented author.)

    About 500 Pages Too Long

    An exciting and well written story that is hard to put down- at first. The story soon begins to darg on and on starts to run in circles; it goes on for about 500 pages more than it should.

    Toooo slow....

    This book had potential but was too wordy and too much psychobabble. Additionally I didn't think it was particularly well written.

    Clever

    A great read! Could barely put it down. Love this book and would like to see as a movie.
