A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Not a Happy Family

“The twists come as fast [as] you can turn the pages.”—People

“I read this novel at one sitting, absolutely riveted by the storyline. The suspense was beautifully rendered and unrelenting!”—Sue Grafton

It all started at a dinner party. . .

A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors—a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives. . .

Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night, when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately lands on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years.

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family—a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.

Twisted

Yes, twisted.

I have been searching for a page-turner for awhile now. Many books have not caught my attention. I took a chance by pre-ordering this book. I must say it grasped my attention from the beginning.

This story has some twists to it although it may seem obvious who did what. In the end, my reaction was "Ah hah."

Need I say more?

Predictable

It wasn't that it was bad, the story line just moved slowly and was predictable from the beginning.

Page turner

I listened to this book on a driving trip. From the first chapter, you are constantly surprised by twists in the story. However, it was easy to figure out who done it about 2/3 of the way through the book. What was not expected was the ending. However, the groundwork for the ending was well laid, so it isn't a total shocker.
I would recommend this book. It's a good story, no descriptive violence and no vulgar language.
As always, great job by Kirsten Potter.

Definitely recommend

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down! I kept seeing the title pop up in advertismemts and I noticed quite a few people reading it while I traveled so I gave it a chance! Thank goodness I did because I wasn't disappointed! This is a book they make movies about!

Worth a listen

Overall this book is good but there are a few too many plot twists so the book got less enjoyable by the end.

Plot twist supreme

Loved the book, didn't want to stop listening each time. If you want to read a story intertwined with suspense, and no gore.. this is a good pick!

Totally into it

This book was really captivating from the beginning. I happy I didn’t listen to the poor reviews and gave it a chance anyway. Loved it!

Great Read!

Wonderfully written! I didn’t want to put it down and I loved the twist at the end!

Really good, unexpected plot

I really enjoyed this book. Great story line and highly recommend. There was a plot twist that I wasn't expecting. Really enjoyed. I haven't listened to any of Lapena's books, but will check them out.
