Publisher's Summary

A summer getaway triggers a psychological game of cat and mouse in a novel about the frightening damages of love, family, and obsession by the bestselling author of Open House and We Were Mothers.

When Georgia rents her country home for the month of August, it’s off to the relaxing Connecticut shore for her; her husband, Tom; and their young daughter. It’s just what they need to ease family tensions and reconnect. All that’s left to do is leave behind their house keys—to a stranger.

For Anna, Georgia and Tom’s house in the cool woodlands is a dream break from the oppressive heat of a New York City summer—and from an increasingly ill-fated relationship with her lover. A month apart and Anna can clear her head and reassess her future. She’s found the perfect place to do it.

As the weeks wear on, Georgia and Anna discover that the pleasures of escape are as difficult to trust in as the comforts of home. And neither one can shake the feeling that something is about to go terribly wrong.

I tried

the outline of the book seems interesting enough, and it has a few people to perform the story, makes me believe it was a story worth to put in all the effort in. the story dragged on; neither exciting nor engaging. the performance is dramatic and yet just seem so... forced. I finished the whole story but every so often I kept feeling this should have ended already.

Good story

This title was on sale for $2.99 so I purchased it because of the storyline. Would I have spent a full credit it on it? Probably not. There were a few good twists and turns. I enjoyed it. Not necessarily a ghost story but some spooky bits.
