More about the book

In this neighborhood, danger lurks nearby. A domestic thriller filled with secrets, the story unfolds with relentless twists. Karen and Tom Krupp are enjoying their life together in upstate New York, happily settled in their lovely home, and without the interruptions of children. However, everything changes when Tom comes home to find Karen missing—her car is gone, and she has left in a rush, abandoning her purse, phone, and ID. Soon, the police arrive to inform Tom that Karen has been in a car accident in a rough part of town. Although she sustains a concussion and some scrapes, her memory of the incident is hazy, raising suspicions among the authorities who believe her amnesia is convenient. As Karen recuperates, she returns home with Tom, eager to move forward. However, she soon notices that something feels off—items in her house have been disturbed, suggesting someone has been there. With the police continuing to probe into her accident and the secrets of her life, the atmosphere grows tense. In this house, everyone is a stranger, hiding their own secrets, and some may go to extreme lengths to keep them buried.
