A twisty tale of family complexities and high-risk secrets from an author who rarely disappoints Daily Mail, Ones to Watch

'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 …' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Wow!!! Just wow! This is the best book from Louise Jensen yet!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Praise for Louise Jensen:

‘Louise Jensen is the master of suspense … Taut, atmospheric and utterly compulsive, it takes one family’s struggle to survive in desperate times and spins it into a gripping whodunit' Kia Abdullah

‘The term page-turner was made for books like this. Intricate plotting, incredible pace, and a wonderful weaving of past and present’ Andrea Mara

‘I absolutely whipped through it. I loved how the characters were relatable and sympathetic … Louise has produced another sure-fire hit that has it all.’ J. L. Blackhurst

‘A galloping pulse-pounder’ Heat

‘A compelling page-turner’ Bella

‘Emotionally gripping story’ Woman
