'Deliciously good . . . Swanson's best thriller yet.' Observer
'Gripping, twisty . . . I could not put it down.' Alafair Burke
When Hen and Lloyd move into their new house, they're relieved to meet another childless couple in their neighbourhood, Matthew and Mira.
But when they're invited over for dinner, Hen thinks she sees something suspicious in Matthew's study.
Could this mild-mannered schoolteacher really be hiding a dark secret, one that only Hen might know about? And even if she's right, who would believe her?
Peter Swanson's debut novel, The Girl With a Clock for a Heart (2014), was described by Dennis Lehane as 'a twisty, sexy, electric thrill ride' and in the Observer as 'very hard not to read in one sitting'. He lives with his wife and cat in Somerville, Massachusetts.
