Description

Newlyweds Karen and Tom seem to have it all—until a shocking death rocks their quiet suburban world and turns their carefully built life into a high-stakes puzzle. As suspicion closes in, a wealthy family member’s death threatens to upend everything, and the people left standing must decide what they’re willing to hide—and what they’re willing to risk. With every revelation, alliances strain and motives multiply, driving a fast, twisty investigation where trust is the most dangerous currency of all. Blending sharp social observation with relentless suspense, this novel explores the fragility of appearances, the secrets people keep for love or survival, and how quickly “getting away with it” can become a race against the truth.
