Naomi had the suburban family life she once believed would last, until her husband Jeremy maneuvers her out of their home, hires the city's top divorce lawyers and empties their accounts. Starting over in a cramped apartment would be the expected next step. Instead she turns her attention to his new girlfriend, and a curious look becomes a fixation that leads her toward secrets she never suspected and a threat to her own safety.

This is the paperback edition; the store also carries the hardcover. The novel sits in domestic suspense, the territory of McFadden's earlier thrillers, including The Housemaid. Naomi was supposed to lose quietly. She chooses to keep watching instead.
