The gripping new thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Couple Next Door.

It can be hard keeping secrets in a tight-knit neighbourhood.

In a tranquil, leafy suburb of ordinary streets - one where everyone is polite and friendly - an anonymous note has been left at some of the houses.´I´m so sorry. My son has been getting into people´s houses. He´s broken into yours.´Who is this boy, and what might he have uncovered? As whispers start to circulate, suspicion mounts.

And when a missing local woman is found murdered, the tension reaches breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they´re telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their secrets?

Maybe you don´t know your neighbour as well as you thought you did . . .
