One perfect life. One perfect family. One day to destroy it all.

To an outside viewer, Nathan and Eve Thayer have an idyllic life. They have a lovely home in an affluent Boston suburb, a beautiful baby girl, great careers – but beneath the glossy surface, all is not what it seems.

Stress in Eva's life is mounting, both professionally and personally, and she feels increasingly uneasy at her workplace. A break-in at a nearby house hasn't helped, either. Someone is out to destroy the Thayer's peace, but no one knows why.

Detective Rita Myers hasn't discovered whether Eve is a target or a suspect, but what she does know is that every disturbing incident in this peaceful neighborhood points back at her. And when a devastating event occurs, it's clear how far from perfect Eve and Nathan's lives really are. As the cracks in the surface start to show, so do the dark secrets that lie beneath...

A pulse-pounding crime thriller, perfect for fans of Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell.
