Description
You think you're safe in your home. You're wrong.
Steph used to think her life was perfect. A happy marriage, two wonderful kids, and a home she felt safe in and called her own. But now her husband has walked out after thirty years, her daughter Bea is married and lives miles away, and Steph's estranged son hasn't made contact in years. Home doesn't feel like the safe haven it once did.
When she begins to hear noises in the night, at first she thinks she's imagining things. But then she finds open windows she knows she left closed, and a strange smell in the kitchen - and she knows none of it feels right.
Then her front window is smashed, and a young man named Noah helps her fix it. He's fallen on hard times and Steph impulsively offers him a place to stay. He reminds her of her missing son, and as a mother she finds herself wanting to help him. Also, if he is there, she won't be home alone.
Before long Noah is living in Bea's old bedroom, paying rent, and getting his life back on track. Steph's ex-husband and Bea are furious. But Steph feels secure at last, and that's what matters.
Until the strange things start happening once more.
And Steph realises that someone is out to scare her...
Someone who will stop at nothing to make her never, ever feel safe again.
The most twisty and unputdownable thriller of the year - perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards and Gone Girl.
