Cold House: a Gripping High-Stakes Psychological Thriller

In a quiet New England town, the picture of perfection fractures overnight. Cold House opens with a husband who vanishes from his own kitchen, leaving nothing but a half-finished glass of wine and a wife whose composure raises more suspicion than comfort. Attention turns to Joanna Keene, a woman who has spent her life curating appearances, only to discover they can crack like glass under the weight of a single accusation. As whispers spread through Brunswick, Maine, the community her family once anchored begins to doubt everything they thought they knew. A determined detective hunts for patterns, a curious librarian friend digs too deeply, and Joanna's brilliant yet guarded daughter unearths secrets only she can untangle. Each revelation edges closer to exposing a truth no one is prepared for—because behind every locked door in a perfect home lies something darker than silence. With unsettling twists, Cold House blends domestic strain with chilling suspense, pulling readers into a maze of loyalty, ambition, and hidden crimes. If trust can no longer live within four walls, what remains to protect those inside? Step into a world where nothing is as safe as it looks, and discover how far ordinary people will go when every truth feels like a trap. Turn the first page of Cold House and don't look away.
