What to expect
"A deliciously dark story of secrets!! Wow! What a wild ride!" Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Don't miss Courtney Psak's next unputdownable thriller, available to pre-order now!
Natalie and her husband decide to escape the city for a much-needed break. After suffering from a terrible accident, Natalie needs some time and space to recover. So when they find a gorgeous rental home on an estate in the Hamptons available at the last minute, it seems too good to be true.
The owner of the estate, Sadie, is beautiful, elegant and wealthy, and Natalie is immediately drawn to her.
But as the women begin to bond, Natalie can't shake the feeling that Sadie is hiding something beneath her polished exterior.
When Natalie discovers that the previous guest disappeared without a trace, dark questions surface: Who exactly is the hostess? What are her secrets? And can Natalie uncover the truth, before it's too late?
