Publisher's summary

An expectant mother gets more than she bargained for when she marries into a seemingly perfect family in this gripping debut novel–a must-listen for fans of A. J. Finn and B. A. Paris.

After surviving a nightmarish childhood, Anneliese Bakker is on the mend and searching for her birth mother. But when she meets Willem, she falls madly in love and finally finds a safe place to land. Engaged and expecting her first child, she moves into the Veldkamp mansion on a stately tree-lined avenue in Amsterdam. And yet, nothing about Willem’s family is as it seems. Instead of the loving home she has longed for her entire life, she’s confronted with a cold and hostile household.

Increasingly isolated, Anneliese is drawn to a creepy basement shrine to Louisa, Willem’s mother. Louisa Veldkamp was a legendary Dutch pianist who presumably drowned—but whose body has never been found. Though still revered by her fans, Louisa is a taboo subject in the family home. Haunted by her own demons, Anneliese must dig into the family’s past to untangle a dark web of secrets, inadvertently putting herself and her unborn child in grave danger.

Not knowing who to trust, Anneliese has to decide just how far she is willing to go to safeguard the family life she so desperately seeks.

Never a dull moment

Who is to blame and never knowing what’s happening next?

An excellent read. The 11 hours flew by while listening as the story twisted until the end.

I’m hoping there’s a sequel.

Intricate and complicated

I’m not gonna say I didn’t like the book, but you have to pay close attention. Lots of time-hops, characters and cultures to keep up with. I honestly spent almost half of the book confused, rewinding to understand what was going on. But I like complicated family scenarios, and although I wasn’t completely enthralled, I did want to see it through to the end. The narration was good- nothing to light the world on fire but seemed right for the story line.
