Eerie and bone-chilling…this page turner surprises and stuns.
Woman's World Magazine


[T]he people watching Tom… [are] the novel’s weakest link, since their respective obsessions remain baffling and at times border on the tedious. That said, prepare to be blindsided…. Jewell does a masterly job of maintaining suspense.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred Review)The novel… alternates between the past leading up to the killing and the ongoing police investigation.… Jewell weaves a taut multiperspective, domestic/community suspense story that is sure to please fans of Ruth Ware and A.J. Finn. —Susan Moritz, Silver Spring, MD
Library Journal


(Starred Review) Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.… Her multilayered characters are sheer perfection, and even the most astute thriller reader won’t see where everything is going until the final threads are unknotted.
Booklist


Jewell adeptly weaves together a complex array of characters… and deftly maintains its intensity and brisk pace.… [A] third-person narration allows her to explore each family's anxieties and… makes the ending all the more unsettling.… Engrossing and haunting.
