I simply slung my rucksack on my shoulder and climbed into the car
- and into the life - of perfect strangers. It was meant to be
Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her
boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken,
and penniless. When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to
help her on her way, she's relieved - they seem so friendly, safe.
And when they offer her a warm bed in their isolated house for the
night, she's grateful not to have to travel back alone in the dark.
In any case, she's in no rush to get home, where a grave secret is
lying in wait to blow her family apart. One night soon turns into
two, and then three. The increasingly spellbinding couple wants her
to stay, and why shouldn't she? Their children need a tutor, and
the longer she can avoid home, the better. But then an older member
of the household warns her to leave immediately. And when her phone
suddenly goes missing, when she realises that this perfect family
is a perfect lie, it might not be so easy for her to leave... Read
