About This Book

When Alice and Leo move into their dream home in an exclusive gated community, everything about it feels like a fresh start — until Alice learns that someone died there, and nobody wants to say how. The more she digs into the life of the therapist who lived in the house before her, the more she finds herself eerily drawn to a woman she never knew. The community is polished, the neighbors are friendly, and the silence surrounding the truth is suffocating.

Paris builds tension the way a good therapist might draw out a confession — patiently, methodically, letting what goes unsaid do most of the work. The novel's structure mirrors Alice's unraveling: the closer she gets to the truth, the less certain she becomes of everything she thought she knew, including her own judgment. It's a tightly controlled domestic thriller that rewards careful readers, with enough misdirection to keep you second-guessing right up to the final pages.
