Publisher's summary

An ITW Thriller Award and Anthony Award winner.

Perfect town. Perfect homes. Perfect families. It’s enough to drive some women mad…

In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiancé back to his Minnesota hometown. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she’s eager to settle down. Lilydale’s motto, “Come Home Forever,” couldn’t be more inviting.

And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village.

The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can’t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows.

Her fiancé tells her she’s being paranoid. He might be right. Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth.

Unhinged but so good.

This storyline is CRAZY but Jess Lourey is one of my favorite authors. I love her characters, the way the story flows, subtle humor, and this one is a thriller up to the very end. Also, I loved the narration on this even though I normally read her books in print.

Confusing

I loved parts of this, but I had a really hard time keeping track of all the characters. It got really annoying after a while.

On and on ad nauseum

So much of the same theme over and over. Joan is upset. Joan can't stand it. Joan will lose her baby etc.

Good story!

I half heartedly started listening to this but after a few chapters I was hooked and now that I’ve finished it, I’m happy I did. Definitely worth the listen.

It keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Awesome story! Had a little tweak of "Rosemary's Baby" to it but way more realistic. I don't have one negative thing to say about it the book. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
