Perfect for you if...

You love psychological thrillers where the villain is charming and patient, slowly corrupting everyone around them.
You're drawn to stories about families in new homes discovering their safe neighbourhood isn't what it seemed.
You appreciate twists that reframe what you thought you knew about a character's innocence or guilt.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer thrillers where the threat is obvious and external rather than someone hiding in plain sight.
You're uncomfortable with storylines involving the manipulation or endangerment of children.
You want faster-paced plots; this one builds dread through grooming and psychological games rather than action.

About this book

Ethan Dove's family has relocated to a new home in a safe community, seeking a fresh start. Ethan's marriage to Emma is strained, and his children—son Dylan and twelve-year-old daughter Rose—need stability and happiness. When Rose is bullied by boys from across the road, their neighbor Fiona Smith intervenes. Fiona offers to care for Rose during the school holidays, and Ethan and Emma accept gratefully. However, Fiona is not the trustworthy neighbor she appears to be. She harbors a plan for revenge and begins to manipulate Rose, training her as an accomplice. As Fiona observes Rose more closely, she begins to suspect the girl may not be as innocent as she seems. This psychological suspense thriller is set within the universe of Edwards's earlier work, The Magpies.
