The brand new unputdownable thriller from the 'queen of the one-sit read'. A couple love their beautiful house so much, they might just kill to keep it...

The new twisty and playfully addictive thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling 'queen of page-turners', author of Everyone Here is Lying and The Couple Next Door.

Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world. - LISA JEWELL, No.1 bestselling author of Don't Let Him In

Twist after twist, secret after secret, she keeps you teetering on the edge of trust. Every page demands your attention. And that ending? Absolute mic drop - 5* READER REVIEW

She loves her husband. But she might love their house more.

Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. Styled to perfection, they have carefully made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are. It is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary...

So when Ted's inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they lose their beloved home and enviable lifestyle? Being poor is not an option.

The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one family member could solve all their problems. Together, they can get away with murder.

As long as they love each other. As long as they trust each other. As long as neither makes a mistake.

A deviously delicious thriller that kept me turning pages from the intense opening to the shocking conclusion. - FREIDA MCFADDEN, No.1 Sunday Times & New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

Splendidly entertaining, full of morally dubious characters, I could not have loved this more. - LIZ NUGENT, bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond

Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world. - LISA JEWELL, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Don't Let Him In
