A hypnotic domestic noir novel in which a house swap becomes the eerie backdrop to a crumbling marriage and tantalizing affair, and the fatal consequences that unfold Be careful who you let in... When Caroline and Francis receive an offer to house swap--from their city flat to a townhouse in a leafy, upscale London suburb--they jump at the chance for a week away from home, their daughter and the tensions that have pushed their marriage to the brink. As the couple settles in, the problems that permeate their marriage--his unhealthy behaviors, her indiscretions--start bubbling to the surface. As they attempt to mend their relationship, their neighbor, a strange young woman, is showing a little too much interest in their activities. Meanwhile, Caroline slowly begins to uncover some signs of life in their new digs--signs of her life. The flowers in the bathroom or the music in the CD player might seem innocent to anyone else--but to her they are clues. The person they have swapped with is someone who knows her, who knows the secrets she'd hoped to forget. . .
