A quiet neighborhood. A lovely home. A promising new beginning. In a heartbeat everything can change in this propulsive novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.

Julie Jones has left her suffocating marriage. With her teenage daughter, Jess, she’s starting over. Their new house in Oceanside is the first step toward a new life. Even if it does come with the unexpected. The previous owners, a pastor and his wife, have left something―or rather someone―behind…

For a newly single mother and her daughter, a fresh start is the beginning of a nightmare. Before the weekend is over, somebody is going to get exactly what they deserve.

Praise & Reviews

“Captivating, fast-paced, and unsettling.”
~ Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author

“A compulsive, fast read that reveals not only what people will do to protect their homes but the families within the four walls. A captivating read.”
~ Georgina Cross, best selling author of Nanny Needed

“Taut with foreboding from the first page, Somebody’s Home is an unsettling portrait of an antisocial teen, a master of the universe, and the women caught between them.”
~ Katherine St. John, author of The Siren

“Somebody’s Home kept me riveted from the first page to the last. A gripping psychological thriller you don’t want to miss!”
~ Lucinda Berry, Bestselling author of The Perfect Child

Somebody’s Home starts like a hurricane out at sea: some wind, some waves, a sense of approaching danger. But the story moves fast, gains velocity, and suddenly you are turning the pages, unable to stop, heart in your throat, knowing that something terrible is going to happen and nothing will stop it. The threats come from all sides, and it’s so hard to know who to trust. The characters are wonderful and complex, the setting feels like the house next door, which makes it all the more terrifying–the ending nearly killed me. Kaira Rouda has written a terrific, gripping thriller.”
~ Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author
