\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0And more! <\/p>\n

Patricia Campbell\u2019s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she\u2019s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they\u2019re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.<\/p>\n

One evening after book club, Patricia is\u00a0viciously\u00a0attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the\u00a0neighbor’s handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn\u2019t felt in years. But\u00a0when children on the other side of town go\u00a0missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind\u2014and Patricia has already invited him in.\u00a0
\u00a0
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia\u2019s life and try to take everything she took for granted\u2014including the book club\u2014but she won\u2019t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.
