Summary

ITW Thriller Award winner

International Book Awards winner

Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.

They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

"A tense, thrilling read—I found it impossible to put down. It’s dark and twisted, and I loved it."—Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

This is a fantastic book which filled me with intrigue, terror, apprehension from beginning to end with an unpredictable, spine-chilling plot. The author extraordinaire did almost too good a job of depicting the horrors people are capable of. A remarkable book which will remain etched in my memory for a while. Kudos to the immensely talented narrator for bringing the terrifying tale alive!

Fabulous thriller with crinkum-crankum

Such clever writing. To be able to hook the reader from the beginning and then contuinue with a mainly two character dialogue for so many hours with the same page turning tension and interesting twists is amazing. Narration great and did the book justice.

Fabulous!

Fantastic book. You are never certain who to feel empathy for. When some of the shocking truth is revealed you can understand one character but as more is revealed the absolute truth is jaw dropping.
For lovers of suspense & examination of complex characters, this is the book for you. Couldn’t put it down.

Hold your breath suspense
