    “Great psychological suspense with a wallop of a twist.” —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub makes her trade paperback debut with a fast-paced thriller in the vein of Lisa Jewell’s The Family Upstairs and Megan Collins’ The Winter Sister. Here, a family making a fresh start moves into a house which was the site of an unsolved triple homicide—and are watched by an unknown person...

    The watcher sees who you are...and knows what you did. 

    It’s the perfect home for the perfect family: pretty Nora Howell, her handsome husband, their two teenage daughters, and lovable dog. As California transplants making a fresh start in Brooklyn, they expected to live in a shoebox, but the brownstone has a huge kitchen, lots of light, and a backyard. The catch: its previous residents were victims of a grisly triple homicide that remains unsolved.  

    Soon, peculiar things begin happening. The pug is nosing around like a bloodhound. Nora unearths a long-hidden rusty box in the flowerbed. Oldest daughter Stacey, obsessed with the family murdered in their house, pokes into the bloody past and becomes convinced that a stranger is watching the house. Watching them.

    She’s right. But one of the Howells will recognize his face. Because one of them has a secret that will blindside the others with a truth that lies shockingly close to home—and to this one’s terrifying history.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a brilliant story with good character development and a satisfying ending. However, some readers felt that the in-between tales of certain characters were unnecessary and expected a better ending. Overall, the book kept readers guessing and the narrator was good. Some readers were disappointed with the lack of involvement from certain characters and wished for more reconciliation of facts. Despite these flaws, readers still enjoyed the book and would try more books by the same author.

      This is a five star rated, read up until the very end. That is where it lost a star. Although the ending was good, it was lacking.

      SPOILER ALERT:

      Please do not read any further, unless you are prepared for some information about the book.
      Now a more complete explanation of the loss of star. Based on character involvement and build up, I expected the other family to play a more pivotal role. The one mom who grew up in the area and knew the family, nothing came of that, even though she had memory problems. Why write in that she grew up there? Better to remove some filler content and elaborate on that or leave it out. Next is the relationship with the parents. I wish there was a reconciliation of facts so the father was not left in the dark, continuing to believe he was cheated on. Especially since Nora shared with Staci her past.

      The story is brilliant. Just felt that the in-between tales of some characters was unnecessary and was expecting a better ending. Nonetheless I enjoyed the book.
