Synopsis

The Family Home follows a divorced mother who shares custody of her young daughter, Mabel, with her ex-husband Matthew, alternating weeks in the house they used to share. When a man she has recently started dating is found murdered in her bed, she and Matthew are the only two people who hold a key — and the discovery drags a buried secret from their marriage back into the light.

Told across two timelines, the present-day investigation and the year leading up to it, the novel traces how the couple's trust broke down long before the body was found, and whether their daughter is safe with either of them. Reviewers describe it as a tense, twist-driven domestic thriller built on the question of how well anyone really knows the person they used to love.
