I received a digital copy of this book from Edelweiss in exchange for an unbiased review.

The death of wealthy Daniel Noble to pancreatic cancer exposes his controversial and philandering life style. The controlling and domineering business man seemed to leave a wake of disgruntled women including his daughter Phoebe. She is married to Wyatt Miller, a therapist, living in an affluent neighborhood.

Since I am not a person who likes to write reviews with spoilers, this will be challenging. While Phoebe tries to self medicate her grief after her father’s death when his notorious lifestyle makes headlines. Her once happy marriage seems to be falling apart which is of little concern to her as she falls deeper into her dark depression. Wyatt fears for her sanity as she insists that someone is spying on her.

Phoebe’s obsession with the dark car parked on her street almost daily is side tracked when a family moves in across the street. She becomes fascinated with Vicki and Ron Napier and their athletic teenage son, Jake who don’t seem to fit into the neighborhood. Ron Napier is a physician who relocated abruptly following a mysterious departure from his last job. Her new neighbor Vicki starts to ingratiate herself into Phoebe’s life and soon provides intriguing excitement to her once dreary existence.

While Phoebe is trying to figure out what secrets the Napiers are hiding, she starts to receive mysterious threatening messages on her doorstep. Her reality starts to unravel the more she learns about her neighbors and why they still have not furnished their rented home. Meanwhile, her paranoia regarding the mysterious car and threatening messages escalates.

Is Phoebe losing her mind as everyone seems to claim? Are her fears and suspicions real or just her imagination? How well do you really know people? Is there a logical reason for this car to be parked on her street? This story takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and suspense.
