Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the threat comes from inside the home, not outside it.
  • You're drawn to unreliable narrators and stories that make you question what you thought you knew.
  • You appreciate twist endings that recontextualise everything you've read, not just shock for shock's sake.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer thrillers with action and external danger rather than slow-burn domestic suspense.
  • You need likeable protagonists to root for, as the narrator here makes morally grey choices.
  • You dislike stories centred on caregiving dynamics or family vulnerability.
