Synopsis

Adam is having a hard time adjusting to the stay-at-home-dad life. The sleepless nights and the constant diaper changing are not what he expected after he was abruptly fired from his job. Then again, Adam wasn’t prepared for his relationship with his wife Sarah to slowly come apart at the seams either. One thing, however, keeps him going—his growing obsession with his neighbor, Ali. But one night, something changes. While staying up with his baby, instead of seeing Ali in the window across the way, he sees her ex-boyfriend, Crispin, lurking around her house before disappearing within. When Adam hears that Ali doesn’t show up for work the next day, and she doesn’t seem to be home, he fears the worst—that she’s been abducted, or possibly killed. His search for the truth will lead him on a path filled with deceit and lies. Adam knows the answers are lurking somewhere in the shadows of his small suburban town—the trouble is, the truth is hard to find when everyone has something to hide.

Goodreads review by Jen on April 09, 2023

I really liked this book and read it over a period of a few hours. It was, as others have said, a little weird, but I like weird! I also would consider it more domestic suspense than thriller. I also thought the synopsis didn’t accurately tell me what the book was about (all the way down to describi......more

Goodreads review by OutlawPoet on February 23, 2023

Nope. Just nope. I thought this would be a fun and entertaining suspense or domestic thriller – kind of Rear Window-like. Instead it’s just…oddly racist people who can’t control their hormones. These people are awful. Not in a fun, scandalous way, but in a very much no thank you kind of way. I semi-lik......more

Goodreads review by Gigi on July 02, 2024

I’m not sure I’ve ever read a book from the perspective of a stay at home dad, so this was fun! The plot was twisty and turny and the characters were easy to love or hate right away. Overall, not a home run, but an enjoyable read!......more
