Perfect for you if...

You enjoy domestic thrillers where the real story unfolds through neighborhood gossip and what people choose not to say.
You loved Gone Girl or Big Little Lies and want that same sense of dread building from ordinary people hiding extraordinary things.
You're drawn to stories told from multiple perspectives where each person's version of the truth contradicts the others.

Maybe not for you if...

You need fast-paced plots with constant action. This one builds tension through atmosphere and secret-keeping rather than chase scenes.
You prefer mysteries where you can solve the puzzle alongside the protagonist. The twist here is designed to blindside you, not play fair.
You want uplifting endings. This book goes dark and stays there.

About this book

Hogarth Street is a desirable tree-lined avenue lined with white houses where everyone wants to live. The Wests—Katherine, John, and their five-year-old twins—seem like the perfect family, appearing deeply in love with beautiful children. However, the family begins refusing visitors, declining offers to babysit, and the children are no longer seen. On the hottest day of the year, a tragedy unfolds behind their closed doors. Sirens pierce the quiet morning as emergency services arrive. The neighbors who had attempted to welcome the Wests soon realize that the street will be fundamentally changed by what has happened. Every family harbors secrets, and the truth about the Wests is about to emerge.
