Cole is retreating to the coast after his marriage collapses. When he meets a group of women living nearby, his desire to prove he’s “one of the good guys” spirals into obsession, manipulation, and danger. A chilling exploration of toxic masculinity, gender, power, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Praised for its timely themes and twisty narrative. Perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes’s You, Lisa Jewell’s The Family Upstairs, and Paula Hawkins’s A Slow Fire Burning. “Dark, thought-provoking, and compulsively readable.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 4.0/5 on Goodreads. Pairs with Our Kind of Cruelty (also by Araminta Hall) for fans of her edgy psychological suspense.
A trade paperback (2024) in Good condition — moderate wear, some page yellowing, all pages present.
