Her favorite pastime is spying on other people's lives through the windows of houses, hiding in the dark.

The past has returned to reveal the secrets of that tragedy and bring what was started to an end. Victoria will have to play by the rules of a psychopath and get to the bottom of the truth herself. And only three people can help in this matter: her boyfriend, her best friend and a psychiatrist. Only there’s a problem: it seems one of them is a killer... “The rhythm, the writing style and the subtly written main character amazed me. Just like in Perfect Days, I was led into darkness." – Caroline Kepnes, bestselling author of You “I read it in one sitting.
