Don’t Say A Word

Kate married Max for one reason to protect his sixteen-year-old daughter, Holly.

For the past year, while planning her escape with her stepdaughter, Kate has played the perfect wife to Max, a man twenty years older who's charming in public but cruel behind closed doors.

They are so close, literally days away from leaving, when Holly kills her father. Panicked, Kate hides Max's body in the garage freezer. Now all they have to do is stay calm until she can make it disappear.

But then Holly takes a friend's car for a joyride and hits the new neighbor. It might only be a sprained ankle, but Kate—with a husband in the freezer and a terrified teenager upstairs—can hardly refuse her the spare room.

Except Teri doesn't seem in any hurry to leave. She's relentlessly friendly. She asks too many questions about Max. Soon, Kate starts to wonder whether the accident was really an accident at all.

Incredibly, the body in the freezer isn't the problem.

The woman in the spare room is.
