First, it was a tale of love. Then, it was a tale of murder.

"A shocking collision made all the more satisfying by Murphy's brilliant twists...Clear your schedule—you won't be putting this down until that last, mesmerizing page." - Carter Wilson, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

One quiet neighbourhood
Three different families
Bound by murder

Klara never wanted the house with the white picket fence. Troy never wanted anything else.

Nothing is quite right with this happy couple, but they fit right in. The mother in the blue house, Mary, is cleaning out her son's old room before she sells, haunted by the mistakes of her past and afraid of what her home has become. Next door, Henry, freshly laid off and back living with his parents, has plenty of time to watch everyone—especially wives. He knows something is wrong. But then nothing is quite as it seems, and sometimes you miss what is right in front of you.

Murder will soon thread its way through this world in ways no one will see coming—unless you've been plotting all along.
