About this audiobook

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“Lapena’s books are addictive!”—Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

“Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world...She is intensely bingeable.” —Lisa Jewell

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family

Maybe you don't know your neighbors as well as you thought you did . . .


"This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much. . . My son broke into your home recently while you were out."

In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses--and into the owners' computers as well--learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.

Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their own secrets?

In this neighborhood, it's not just the husbands and wives who play games. Here, everyone in the family has something to hide . . .

You never really know what people are capable of.

This one... the narrator nailed expressing the mannerisms of the upper class suburban housewife and family to a tee. This entire story had more turns than a doorknob at a bar bathroom. It was filled with suspense all the way through and ended with suspense. This one is definitely a need to read!
