Perfect for you if...

You want a psychological thriller that's grounded in real stakes: a mother protecting her kids from both external threats and her own past.
You loved Gone Girl or The Woman in Cabin 10 and appreciate unreliable perspectives and domestic tension that cuts deep.
You're drawn to protagonists who are flawed, angry, and genuinely competent at survival rather than lucky or passive.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a cosy mystery or a book without violence and dark themes involving children at risk.
You prefer romance-driven plots or slow-burn character studies over page-turning suspense.
You're looking for a redemption arc that feels uplifting. This is about damage control and survival, not healing.

About this book

Gina Royal, a shy Midwestern housewife, discovers her husband is a serial killer after a car accident exposes his secret life. She reinvents herself as Gwen Proctor and becomes determined to protect her two children. With her ex imprisoned, Gwen relocates to a remote home on Stillhouse Lake, hoping to escape the stalkers and online harassment that have followed her since her husband's crimes became public. She believes her family can finally live peacefully under her new identity. When a body is discovered in the lake and threatening letters arrive from a familiar source, Gwen's fragile sense of safety unravels. She must navigate between trust and suspicion to shield her children from a killer intent on tormenting her. Gwen is prepared to fight to protect what matters most.
