      In this suspenseful tale, a woman rents her cottage to a mysterious young stranger, exploring themes of trust and instinct. Terry Painter, a 40-year-old nurse in Delray, Florida, leads a quiet life until Alison Simms, a charming and enthusiastic twenty-something, enters it. Drawn to Alison's vivacity, Terry neglects to ask for references and quickly forms a bond with her new tenant, who fills a void in her life with friendship and warmth. Alison's presence transforms Terry's routine, bringing laughter and joy, as she indulges in Terry's cooking and gifts her with thoughtful surprises. However, as their relationship deepens, Terry's suspicions about Alison begin to surface. Alison exhibits strange habits, has an inexplicable source of cash, and seems overly familiar with Terry's home. Her reluctance to discuss her past raises red flags, and Terry becomes increasingly paranoid, especially after noticing a shadowy figure near her house and receiving unsettling phone calls. As she grapples with her instincts, Terry questions whether she should have been more cautious. Fielding expertly delves into the complexities of her characters, crafting a riveting narrative that keeps readers guessing until the final shocking twist, described as “an ending worthy of Hitchcock.” The novel combines psychological depth with engaging prose, ensuring a gripping read.
