Thriller Psychological

In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home. A domestic thriller packed full of secrets, and a twisty story that never stopsโ€”from the bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

He looks at her, concerned. โ€œHow do you feel?โ€ She wants to say, Terrified. Instead, she says, with a faint smile, โ€œGlad to be home."

Karen and Tom Krupp are happyโ€”theyโ€™ve got a lovely home in upstate New York, theyโ€™re practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanishedโ€”her carโ€™s gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purseโ€”complete with phone and IDโ€”behind.

There's a knock on the doorโ€”the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.

The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, sheโ€™s mostly okayโ€”except that she canโ€™t remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.

Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes somethingโ€™s been moved. Somethingโ€™s not quite right. Someoneโ€™s been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.

Because in this house, everyoneโ€™s a stranger. Everyone has something theyโ€™d rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.
