When Erin Voss disappears from her perfect house on Sycamore Close, every door is locked, every neighbour has a story, and every story sounds rehearsed. Mara Bell, the woman across the street, knows she should stay out of it. But she saw the porch light blink three times on the night Erin vanished, and she heard something through the rain that no one else will admit.
As Mara follows the small lies stitched through the neighbourhood, she discovers that the missing wife had been keeping records of everyone—her husband, her friends, and the people who smiled over hedges while hiding what they had done. In a street built on good manners and closed curtains, the truth is locked behind one door too many.
