Blake Porter’s life unravels in the blink of an eye. Once a successful VP of marketing, he’s abruptly fired and unable to keep up with the mortgage payments on the beautiful brownstone he shares with his fiancée. Desperate to make ends meet, Blake decides to rent out a room, and Whitney, a seemingly perfect tenant-charming, down-to-earth, and beautiful-moves in. But as soon as Whitney enters the picture, Blake’s world takes a sinister turn: neighbors begin to treat him with suspicion, a persistent smell of decay invades his home, and unsettling noises disturb his sleep. The once safe haven becomes a house of unease, and Blake suspects that someone may know the secrets he’s tried so hard to bury.
“A relentless psychological thriller that cements Freida McFadden’s reputation as the queen of twists.”

Praised by bestselling authors like Lisa Jewell and Riley Sager, this thriller is a masterclass in suspense, with a protagonist you’ll love and hate in equal measure, and a twist that will leave you reeling.
