From an internationally acclaimed author, a disturbing and addictive novel of domestic suspense where secrets kept hidden from spouses cause shocking surprises that hit home...
Synopsis:
There's nothing unusual about a new family moving in at 91 Trinity Avenue. Except it's her house. And she didn't sell it.
When Fiona Lawson comes home to find strangers moving into her house, she's sure there's been a mistake. She and her estranged husband, Bram, have a modern coparenting arrangement: bird's nest custody, where each parent spends a few nights a week with their two sons at the prized family home to maintain stability for their children. But the system built to protect their family ends up putting them in terrible jeopardy. In a domino effect of crimes and misdemeanors, the nest comes tumbling down.
Now Bram has disappeared and so have Fiona's children. As events spiral well beyond her control, Fiona will discover just how many lies her husband was weaving and how little they truly knew each other. But Bram's not the only one with things to hide, and some secrets are best kept to oneself, safe as houses.
Review:
Part of the huge appeal for this novel (and potential movie rights, I'm sure) is the fact of how many people have similar lives. A marriage that wasn't strong, an attempt at parenting together, which shows where parental and moral weaknesses are, and then an ultimate betrayal. Bram and Fiona each have their own issues and faults, and combined you can see the disaster in the making, but like any accident scene, you just can't stop looking and turning the pages. By giving the reader insights into the different characters, you learn why they make the choices they do in the book, and the subsequent results. Definitely add this one to your reading list, you're going to be hearing a LOT about it!
