The Murphys relocated from San Diego to Kona, HI, for a fresh start. Chuck had cheated on Nancy, and their twin boys have been acting out a bit beyond ordinary teenage pranks. At first Hawaii is paradise and life is good—almost romantic again. Then Nancy begins yoga lessons with the charismatic and fascinating Ana. The more Nancy sees of Ana, the more she is pulled away from Chuck and the twins. Ana insinuates herself into Nancy's life with a grasp that won't release. Can she break away from Ana? Can Nancy still save her marriage? Can you really ever go home again?
VERDICT Resonating well among the current rash of psychological thrillers, Huntley's (We Could Be Beautiful) compelling page-turner of control and manipulation will hit just the right notes for readers who love Paula Hawkins, Maria Semple, and Ruth Ware. [See Prepub Alert, 1/6/17.]
