A Sunday Times and Observer Thriller of the Month'Deliciously good . . . Swanson's best thriller yet.' Observer'Gripping, twisty . . . I could not put it down.' Alafair BurkeWhen 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?
Deliciously good - dry, intelligent, perfectly paced, there is more than a touch of the Barbara Vines ... This is Swanson's best thriller yet.
Will keep you gripped through every elegant twist and turn.
Compelling, creepy, and psychologically astute, this is stylish thriller writing at its very best.
Spot on ... fans of his previous bestsellers won't be disappointed.
This book will be on my BEST books of 2019 list for sure.
A neatly knotted suspense story.
So smart and exciting ... Brian de Palma, or Hitchcock, were he still alive, would kill for the film rights.
Mr. Swanson unfolds this creepy story with the assurance and economy of a master. Surprises follow one another with inevitability, until the final electrifying jolt.
A wicked thriller ... will keep you up at night and haunt your thoughts.
A superb, twisty, disturbing picture of a plausible, charming man who happens to be a psychopath, and the young woman who knows what he is but cannot convince the police of his guilt.
