 Stan and Joy Delaney are retired tennis instructors, parents of four adult children, and living their lives day to day…until a young woman named Savannah shows up on their doorstop asking for help.

And then Savannah moves in.

And then Joy goes missing.

This book whirled all over the place, the love child of a domestic thriller and a contemporary fiction dysfunctional family novel. It’s a WILD ride, literally until the very last chapter that left my jaw hanging and a cold chill on my spine. Ooof.

This was a damn. good. book.
