The Abbotts' new lodger Luke hasn't told them much about himself, but they can't expect to know everything about a stranger who's just moved in.

But Luke keeps asking about their family photos and looking through their things. Why does he want to know everything about them? And why does daughter Jen think someone is watching her?

Then, suddenly, Mum Mel texts the family to say she needs a break. But Mel has never gone away alone before. And now it's been days, and no one has heard from her.

The Abbotts' house is full of secrets.

They say people never tell the whole truth.

They're right.

Customer Reviews

Dark and twisty good!

Who is the liar in this book? The answer is everyone! So many secrets and lies and twists and revelations that I was not expecting and was completely blown away. This book was impossible to put down with the nice short chapters that made me keep saying just one more until I finished it. Yes, there are multiple viewpoints but that just made it more wonderfully twisty, especially the creepy I am watching you parts! No family is perfect and the Abbotts have many secrets that are exposed in this book in a delightfully written suspenseful novel, starting with Mel going missing, a new lodger showing up shortly after, and ending with murder, mistakes, accidents, and dark deeds galore! It is thrilling, dark, tragic, and I loved it all! This is one great twisty suspense filled ride that I highly recommend. I definitely will be looking up the other books by this author for more fun reads. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a chance to dive into this twisty thriller!
