APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A house that makes a great cup of coffee, toasts your bagel the way you like it, and does the dishes afterward sounds divine. Cecelia’s new home in an experimental suburban Illinois neighbourhood is designed to be secure and technologically advanced—it’s the perfect place to start over after a brutal home invasion traumatizes her family. But is IntelTech’s SmartHome a safe haven or the house from hell? And who is this “Lydia” that Cecelia’s house keeps talking about? Nina Laurin—who specializes in gripping domestic suspense thrillers like Girl Last Seen and The Starter Wife—channels her inner Michael Crichton in this believably futuristic techno-thriller. Filled with mysterious “well-vetted” residents and all-smiles staff, Cecelia’s new neighbourhood is a great backdrop for Laurin’s revelations about her heroine’s troubled past. A Woman Alone is such twisty, creepy fun that it’ll be a minute before we fully trust our home appliances again.
