Description

"A shocking collision made all the more satisfying by Murphy's brilliant twists... Clear your schedule—you won't be putting this down until that last, mesmerizing page."  —Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

"Beautifully creepy. Deliciously dark." —Iliana Xander, bestselling author of Love, Mom

One quiet neighborhood
Three different families
Bound by murder

Klara never wanted the house with the white picket fence. Troy never wanted anything else.

Nothing is quite right with this happy couple, but they fit right in. The mother in the blue house, Mary, is cleaning out her son's old room before she sells, haunted by the mistakes of her past and afraid of what her home has become. Next door, Henry, freshly laid off and back living with his parents, has plenty of time to watch everyone—especially wives. He knows something is wrong. But then then nothing is quite as it seems, and sometimes you miss what is right in front of you. 

Murder will soon thread its way through this world in ways no one will see coming—unless you've been plotting all along.

"A shocking collision made all the more satisfying by Murphy's brilliant twists... Clear your schedule—you won't be putting this down until that last, mesmerizing page."  —Carter Wilson, USA Today...
