This was an enjoyable thriller. While I correctly guessed the twists early on in the novel, I think it plays around in a really fun way with the 1950s housewife genre. Set in Sunnylakes California, the story follows the disappearance of Joyce Haney, a popular housewife with the perfect husband and two beautiful daughters. But when Ruby, the family's ‘help' turns up to work one day to find a blood soaked kitchen, the two distressed girls inside the house but no sign of Joyce Haney the story takes a dark turn. Where is Joyce? What happened to her? A page turning thriller that will grip you until the end!
