Publisher Description
From the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage comes a chilling family thriller about the (sometimes literal) skeletons in the closet.
Beth's life hasn't worked out the way she planned. After her father walked out on their family with a note simply saying 'I'm sorry', she became obsessed with finding him. An obsession that destroyed her relationship with her husband and her daughter. She just has her dying mother left, Beth taking care of her as best she can until she breathes her final, shocking words:
Your father. He didn't disappear. Don't trust...
Still processing these words, Beth receives a surprise call to say her sister has been attacked and rushed to hospital. Soon after, she finds both estranged sister and brother returning to the family home. She makes sure to lock her bedroom door at night. Her sister can't be trusted.
Desperate to revisit happier memories, the siblings find themselves watching home videos of their childhood. It feels like a good idea, until the footage shows them their father covered in blood, their mother's voice panicked, and a dead girl's body. They'd love to believe it's fake, but they know the girl in the video.
Losing their mother is already hard enough, but will Beth and her siblings survive the truth of what really happened to that little girl?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Secrets await when the late Laura Thomas's adult children return to the rural community of Allen's Grove, Wis., to settle her estate in the taut if occasionally far-fetched latest from bestseller Rose (You Shouldn't Have Come Here). Dutiful eldest sibling Beth feels drained from juggling her factory job with caring for her cancer-stricken mother, whose husband disappeared seven years earlier. Meanwhile, strung-out middle child Nicole is fighting a losing battle with addiction, and Michael, the youngest, is a tech entrepreneur in California who wants as little as possible to do with the rest of his family. As the trio, who take turns narrating, sort through Laura's belongings, they stumble across a smoking gun: a 1999 VHS tape showing their bloodied father, a dead body, and their distraught mother agreeing to help dispose of it. Unsure what to do about the discovery, the squabbling siblings agree that Beth and Nicole will start sleuthing, and they'll formulate a decision based on their findings. In short order, someone breaks into the house, Laura's diaries reveal a spate of chilling clues, and the siblings begin to see their parents in a new, unflattering light. Though a few of the plot twists strain credulity, Rose demonstrates a formidable command of character. The author's fans will enjoy the ride.
