Synopsis

What if you invited danger into your home?

Amy is a loving wife and mother, to her husband Nick, and her two children, Michael and Bella. It's that dedication to her family that causes her to seek help for her teenage son when it becomes apparent that he is going to fail his end of school exams.

Enlisting the help of a professional tutor, Amy is certain that she is doing the best thing for her child. But when she discovers that there is more to this tutor than meets the eye, it is already too late.

With the rest of her family enamored by the tutor, Amy is the only one who can see that there is something not quite right about her. But as the tutor becomes more involved in Amy's family, it's not just the present that is threatened. Secrets from the past are exposed too, and by the time everything is out in the open, Amy isn't just worried about her son and his exams anymore. She is worried for the survival of her entire family.

This will be one lesson they will never forget.

Goodreads review by Emily Kestrel on October 28, 2015

A while back (late 1980s/early 1990s) there was a spate of suspense movies I think of as "cuckoo in the nest" stories. The cuckoo, as most people know, is notorious for laying its eggs in the nests of unsuspecting birds, so that its huge, demanding chick crowds out the rightful fledglings and steals......more

Goodreads review by Bandit on January 08, 2017

Very limp domestic thriller, particularly so for one that starts with an erection, literally, first sentence and there it is. Notably clever and able Sherlock obsessed kid (by far the shining star of this production), a bunch of clueless adults and an oddly bland psychopath square off after a simple......more

I was interested in this book and was thoroughly enjoying it until it ended, and quite abruptly. The development of the ending left much to be desired.
