The father and son

Home is where the heart stops…

When Cassie moves into her mother-in-law's house to escape mounting debts, she expects the usual domestic tensions: criticism of her marriage, snippy comments about her career choices, and constant comparisons to her husband’s ex. But behind closed doors, something far more sinister lurks in this family's dark past.

As mysterious deaths plague their neighbourhood, Cassie uncovers disturbing lies beneath Margaret's manipulative behaviour. Her mother-in-law isn't just the monster she feared – she's harbouring a shocking truth that puts everyone in terrible danger.

In this gripping psychological thriller, perfect families hide the deadliest secrets of all.
