THE BESTSELLING QUEEN OF HORROR RETURNS

Welcome to Serenity Falls – the most idyllic, and safest, town in the US – a place to grow up, grow your family and grow old together. For Dan and his daughter, Sadie, it’s the perfect relocation option. A fresh start, thousands of miles from their troubled past in the UK.

But their idyll is shattered when they find a dead body in the swimming pool of their new house – a house Dan’s late mother kept secret from him all his life.

It’s just the start of a series of disturbing discoveries. Abandoned houses where people have seemingly just upped and left. The strange woman Sadie sees around town putting up ‘missing’ posters for a child who drowned almost thirty years ago. An ice cream van that drives around at night making sure residents are asleep...

As plans gear up to celebrate Serenity Falls’ fiftieth anniversary, something is stirring beneath the surface of the blissful façade. Is Serenity Falls really the perfect town or is it founded on something far darker? And is someone so desperate to keep its secrets that they’d resort to anything to preserve them?

Welcome to Serenity Falls. Once you’re here, you’re here to stay.

Critic reviews

All the thrills of vintage Stephen King. Reading this was a visceral, intense, gloriously horrifying experience, and I loved every second of it. CJ Tudor scares me… in a good way. The maestro of macabre does it again (WILL DEAN)
Beautifully sinister...Serenity Falls takes the dream of suburban perfection and twists it into something deeply unsettling. Creepy, compulsive, and impossible to put down (GUY MORPUSS)
A book that continuously compels you to read just one more chapter. Brimming with mystery, dread, and characters to root for, Serenity Falls is one hell of a good time. Move in at your own risk (MARCUS KLIEWER)
Imagine Stephen King colliding with The Stepford Wives. This is an unnerving, slow-burn that’s drenched in malice and suspense. Easily Tudor's strongest novel to date. (JOHN MARRS)
C.J. Tudor is always brilliant, but this one is REALLY brilliant. This is an absolute epic, packed with secrets, tragedy, dark humour and great characters. C.J. Tudor expertly peels back the veneer of sunny suburbia to uncover its deliciously twisted underbelly. This had me feverishly turning pages desperate to find out the next devilish twist, and I was gripped to the brilliant end. (JOSH WINNING)
Nobody writes creeping terror quite like C.J. Tudor, and Serenity Falls is a triumph of 21st century Gothic (TOM MEAD)
With Serenity Falls, CJ Tudor has played another blinder. This is without question the most gripping novel of the year. I challenge you to put it down before you reach the end. (AVA GLASS)

A chocolate box town, a bone-chilling secret - vintage CJ. Tudor
Deceptively sweet and nice; scary as hell underneath.
Britain's most commanding voice in small-town terror.

(PAUL FINCH)
