SUMMARY
From the acclaimed author of Her Every Fear and
The Kind Worth Killing comes a diabolically clever
tale of obsession, revenge, and cold-blooded murder—a sly
and brilliant guessing game of a novel in the vein of Ruth
Ware, Paula Hawkins, and Patricia
Highsmith. Harry Ackerson has always
considered his stepmother Alice to be sexy and beautiful, in
an "otherworldly" way. She has always been kind and
attentive, if a little aloof in the last few years.
Days before his college graduation, Alice calls with
shocking news. His father is dead and the police think it’s
suicide. Devastated, Harry returns to his father’s home in
Maine. There, he and Alice will help each other pick up of
the pieces of their lives and uncover what happened to his
father. Shortly after he arrives, Harry meets a
mysterious young woman named Grace McGowan. Though she
claims to be new to the area, Harry begins to suspect that
Grace may not be a complete stranger to his family. But she
isn’t the only attractive woman taking an interest in Harry.
The sensual Alice is also growing closer, coming on to him
in an enticing, clearly sexual way. Mesmerized by
these two women, Harry finds himself falling deeper under
their spell. Yet the closer he gets to them, the more
isolated he feels, disoriented by a growing fear that both
women are hiding dangerous—even deadly—secrets . . . and
that neither one is telling the truth.
