The Family on Smith Street

‘Wow!… I am literally obsessed!… Right from the first page, I was completely hooked!… I literally had no clue… Brilliant!… An absolute winner for me – the perfect psychological thriller.’ @book_a_holic_17 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Sawyer family adore living on Smith Street. They love the neat houses and family barbecues, the neighbours they can wave to as they walk down the tree-lined road. Most of all, James and Jo have loved seeing their daughter Scarlett playing outside with the local children, growing strong and beautiful. It’s somewhere nothing bad could ever happen.

But one cold winter’s morning, Jo finishes her breakfast, kisses James and Scarlett goodbye, and sets off through the frost-bitten air to work. She never comes home.

As James and Scarlett begin a desperate search for Jo, it becomes terrifyingly clear that the Sawyers had no idea how dangerous Smith Street could be.

Because behind closed doors, the most perfect homes can hide the deadliest secrets…

A completely compelling and page-turning psychological thriller perfect for fans of My Lovely Wife, The Serial Killer’s Wife and The Housemaid.
