ONE OF POPSUGAR’S BEST NEW BOOKS TO DIVE INTO THIS SUMMER

ONE OF CRIME READS’ MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER CRIME BOOKS OF 2020

A house with the darkest of secrets.
A woman who is the only one who knows.


It’s another bright, sunny day in Venture, Illinois, the sort of place where dreams come true and families can get a fresh start. Cecelia Holmes deserves it after the home invasion that shattered her previous life. Now everything seems perfect – her high-security SmartHome, her doting husband, her sweet daughter.

Until she begins to feel spied on. Her husband doesn’t believe her. Her neighbors ignore her. So when she discovers a shocking secret about the prior occupant of their house, she feels that she has no one to turn to. And now Cecelia must face her fears alone…
