Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers where the threat comes from someone close, not a stranger.
  • You love books with unreliable narrators and plot twists that reframe everything you thought you knew.
  • You're drawn to stories about isolation and vulnerability, especially when a fresh start turns sinister.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer thrillers with fast-paced action and external dangers rather than slow-burn psychological tension.
  • You want to avoid stories centred on domestic relationships and emotional manipulation.
  • You're looking for cosy mysteries or lighter reads. This one is genuinely creepy and unsettling.

About this book

Lauren leaves London for a fresh start in the countryside with her new partner Paul and his two young children. She moves into a glass house in the woods, viewing it as a second chance and a dream come true. However, as dark rumours emerge about their new home, Lauren begins to doubt their happiness. She met Paul during a vulnerable time in her life and trusted him completely, but now she questions whether that trust is warranted. The novel explores whether Lauren can truly trust the man who has given her everything, as secrets about their home and their relationship come to light.
