Description
By: Freida McFadden
Millie thought she’d finally earned a normal life: a quiet cul‑de‑sac, a charming kitchen, and a yard where her kids can play. She wants to believe her past is behind her—but the neighborhood doesn’t feel as safe as it looks. A neighbor’s invitation to dinner opens the door to unsettling details, including the Lowells’ maid whose cold stare makes Millie’s skin crawl. Millie starts noticing shadows and secrets everywhere: a figure watching the house, her husband leaving late at night, and warnings from across the street to be careful of the people next door. The more Millie tries to protect her family, the more she fears she moved them into the most dangerous place of all.
