Description

A gripping suburban thriller from the bestselling author of Beneath the Shadows and The Hush

Lenny has always known that his wife, Claire, is the love of his life. But somehow his marriage is in shambles, he’s struggling with the kids, and a string of anonymous text messages are tormenting him, insisting that Claire is a liar.

Claire adores Lenny, but there’s a lot she hasn’t told him about the traumatic events that led her to him, and over the last few years she has gradually closed down. Now she’s terrified that the horrors of her past might be about to put her entire family in danger.

However, it’s only when new neighbors move in across the road that Claire and Lenny’s carefully built facades start to rupture, for these strangers appear to know far more than they should about the couple’s troubles. Over the next few days, the lies will be exposed, and everyone’s lives will change forever, as the truth about Claire’s past finally comes to light.

Featured Reviews

On the surface, Claire and Lenny look like the perfect couple. They love each other and their children, but things are not what they appear. Claire has been keeping secrets from her husband, secrets that could destroy everything they hold dear; and Lenny is getting anonymous texts hinting that his wife is lying to him. Things come to a head when new neighbors arrive and they appear to know far more about Claire and Lenny than they should. It’s only a matter of time before Claire’s secrets are revealed and then things get nasty. Foster is a master at domestic suspense and her legion of fans will not be displeased by her latest endeavor
