You just met your new neighbours, but they already know you…

 

As I open the door to the house I grew up in, I take in the family photos I haven't looked at since my sister died. It will never be the happy place it once was, not since that night twenty years ago. Renting it to a new family is a fresh start, and single dad Oliver and his sweet son Finley seem like the perfect fit.

 

Calling by the house, I notice how few belongings they have; no toys for Finley or pictures of his mother. Why does Oliver shut down when I ask him about his life? And who is the man I see him arguing with in the street? I thought he was a stranger to this small town…

 

Fearing for Finley's safety, I let myself inside in search of answers. But the smiling face in the photo I find hidden in Oliver's bedroom chills me to my core. He knows exactly who I am and all the secrets of my past. Breath catches in my throat. Is my life now in terrible danger?

 

The New Family is an addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming, perfect for fans of The Wife, The Silent Patient and Lisa Jewell.
