Acclaimed internationally bestselling author Caz Frear ratchets up the suspense in this outstanding stand-alone psychological thriller --- a gripping tale of revenge, loyalty and the secrets hidden between the walls of the most beautiful home in town.

Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was...

Teacher, mother, wife and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling nonstop commitments --- from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail, declaring:

People have to learn there are consequences, Ellen.

And I’m going to teach you that lesson.

Right under your nose.

Why would someone send her this? Ellen has no clue. She’s no angel --- a white lie here, an occasional sharp tongue there --- but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy. She’d never intentionally hurt anyone.

But intention doesn’t matter to someone. Someone blames this supposed “good person” for all the bad they’ve experienced. And maybe they have reason to? Because few of us get through life without leaving a black mark on someone else’s. Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong? 

As she races to discover who’s set on destroying her reputation and her future, Ellen continues to receive increasingly threatening messages...each one hitting closer to everything she cherishes.
