The new tenants have a terrible secret. So do the landlord and his daughter…
Ever since Lucy was two, she’s been on the run alongside her mother. She’s never understood the reason for a lifetime of paranoia, aliases, and lies. All she understands are the rules: never lock eyes with strangers, never let down your guard, and always be ready to move on.
Finally, after thirteen years and eleven states, their next hideaway seems perfect. An isolated, fortresslike place in the New Hampshire woods is the new home they share with its owner, a gentlemanly pianist, and his lonely daughter, Gretchen. She’s Lucy’s age and soon becomes Lucy’s first real friend.
But Gretchen and her father have secrets of their own - and an obsession with puzzles that draws Lucy into a terrifying new game of hide-and-seek. Lucy’s dark past is about to come calling. And this time, for her and her mother in the house on the hill, it might be too late to run.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“…[A] brilliantly constructed novel…The pieces of the characters’ broken lives finally slip into place in a truly thrilling climax. Kirk draws the reader into a fascinating world of shifting truths whose details are by turns grotesque, funny, creepy, thoughtful, and exhilarating.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Gretchen terrified me, made me laugh, made my jaw hit the floor…I had to wonder what kind of sorceress Kirk is, to have wormed her way into my brain and then written exactly the kind of story that makes me jump out of my skin and burns its way into my memory. The best kind.” - Emily Carpenter, bestselling author of Until the Day I Die
“I’m so glad I read this during the daytime, when the sun was shining and I was in a plane full of people…Five terrifying stars.” - Kimberly Belle, bestselling author of Three Days Missing and Dear Wife
However, the plot had so much going on and I don’t know if the story was executed as well as I wanted. After the second chapter, I predicted what ended up being the shocker in the middle of the novel. The ending’s twist didn’t surprise me, but I enjoyed it for plot-purposes.
The “mom” chapters (until she got deeper with Laura) bored me slightly. I also really found the names to be super confusing at first, but I can see why the author chose to have two Gretchen’s and two Laura’s. But I commend Shannon for attempting to use red herrings with the names to throw me off—I just got a little confused instead.
I also am not sure why two animals were almost harmed, but I’m glad they weren’t!!! Harming animals isn’t the only thing that defines a psychopath.
I will remember this book for the interesting dynamics between the main characters (Laura, Mags, and Lucy).
Interesting for sure!
