About this listen

A happy family. A picture-perfect street. A secret someone would kill for.

My husband, James, and I love living on Smith Street, with its neat houses and friendly family barbecues. Our daughter, Scarlett, can play outside with the other local kids–it’s somewhere nothing bad could ever happen. Or so I thought....

Because when I wake terrified, head pounding, in a cramped windowless room, I realize I was entirely wrong. As my eyes adjust to the dark, I see creased pictures of missing local people I vaguely recognize from the news covering the walls. Then, my skin turns ice-cold when I notice the newest pictures are of me, James, and Scarlett....

A terrified sob catches in my throat. It seems there’s been a killer hiding in our neighborhood for years. And I’m their next victim.

I stare at the photos in horror. Because if they’ve got me, they could also have James, or worst of all, my precious daughter, Scarlett. In that moment, I know I’ll do anything, everything, to save my family. Especially because I know this is all my fault....

A completely compelling psychological thriller perfect for fans of My Lovely Wife, The Serial Killer’s Wife, and The Housemaid.
