About:
Thomas and Viv Adler are the envy of their neighbors: attractive, successful, with well-mannered children and a beautifully restored home.
Until one morning, when they wake up to find their porch has been pelted with eggs. It’s a prank, Thomas insists; the work of a few out-of-control kids. But when a smoke bomb is tossed on their front lawn, and their car’s tires are punctured, the family begins to worry. Surveillance cameras show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies. And the police dismiss the attacks, insisting they’re just the work of bored teenagers. Unable to identify the perpetrators, the Adlers are helpless as the assaults escalate into violence, and worse. And each new violation brings with it a growing fear. Because everyone in the Adler family is keeping a secret—not just from the outside world, but from each other. And secrets can be very dangerous….
This twisty, addictively page-turning suspense novel about a perfect family’s perfect façade will keep you turning pages until its explosive ending.
Review:
I loved Robyn Harding’s previous books so was keen to read this. It did twist and turn and the culprits were difficult to work out. I did however get a little fed up of the constant thoughts in the characters heads, wanting the plot to move quicker and them to stop surmising what they could do or the natively of thinking things were sorted.
Overall it’s a great story, bringing home what is most important in life, that material things and appearances are fickle and we should ensure we always make time for those we love.
