Dexter meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this wildly compulsive debut thriller about a couple whose fifteen-year marriage has finally gotten too interesting...

Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman. We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored.

We look like a normal couple. We're your neighbors, the parents of your kid's friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.

We all have our secrets to keeping a marriage alive.

Ours just happens to be getting away with murder.

Ratings and reviews

What a thrilling book! I was hooked right off in the beginning and the end just blew my mind! I had wondered...and still was blown away. I definitely recommend!

I listened the audiobook. It was well performed and full of twist and turns. I thought I knew the ending but I was way off. I would like to change the epilogue a bit. So that I can wonder more about this family future. Trunk up to the great book!

What an exceptional book! I could not put it down So many twists. And that ending ... wow! 5/5
