Wrap Up

#AndThatsAWrap of #ThePerfectHome by Kevin Lynch @inkubatorbooks #KevinLynch #ZooloosBookTours

It’s a beautiful place to live. Or die.

June is very happy in her home. It’s where she raised her two kids – now college age – and every room is filled with memories, some beautiful, some painful. She loves the garden she has worked so hard to create. She likes her neighbours in this pleasant, leafy suburb.

But lately, something has changed.

There’s the new guy across the street. He seems rough, possibly criminal. And he’s been taking a definite interest in June’s rebellious daughter, Cathy.

And there’s June’s son, Sam. He’s always been open and friendly but recently he’s been sullen and secretive.

Even more disturbing, June’s cheating ex-husband suddenly seems to be everywhere. It’s almost as if he’s stalking her.

Then, when someone she knows is murdered, June begins to understand that all these different things are connected. And as she investigates further, she realises that she herself is in terrible danger.

Because someone out there wants June gone. Permanently.


Over the 7 days, did we find out if this was a perfect home?

Review by Read and Rated, “Superbly atmospheric, this psychological thriller held my attention throughout the mundanity of everyday life and slap bang into a dark and tense thriller.”

Review by Fireflies and Free Kicks, “The psych thriller aspect is good. I guessed at the mastermind but underestimated the reach of the person responsible and how it all tied together. So well-done on that”
