He tells you heās your father. He welcomes you into his family. And now youāre trappedā¦
Iāve never met my father. It was always just me and Mom, so when she died, I was completely alone. But today, years since I first mailed my DNA to Family Ties, I finally have a match. Theyāve found my biological father.
When I meet Robert, heās warm, dependable, sturdy. Iām desperate for him to like me. I want to be part of his perfect, high-flying family more than anything.
Except, Iām not so sure they are perfect. Every day, strange things go wrong in the Thompsonsā grand Lake Tahoe house. A family photo is found burning. Robertās car is tampered with. My motherās necklace goes missing.
Though thatās nothing compared to the horror of finding the huge family portrait violently slashed in its ornate gold frameā¦ But someone is trying to blame me for everythingāall eyes are on me. I canāt run now.
And then I receive an email from Family Ties that makes my blood run cold.
Robert Thompson is not my father.
Now Iām trapped in a house full of strangers, with no idea who I can trust. And Iām terrified my life is in grave dangerā¦
An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller packed with twists that will leave you reeling. Perfect for fans of The Family Upstairs, The Happy Family and Shari Lapena.
