Good Company

They were the perfect houseguests. That was the first warning.

Will and Mara Ames came to the mountains to disappear. After the worst year of their lives, after Portland, after the thing they will never say out loud, they buried themselves in a glass house at the dead end of a snowbound canyon. To be no one. To be safe.

Then they met Elliot and June.

Charming. Effortless. Warm in all the places the Ameses had gone cold. Within weeks the two couples are inseparable, and for the first time in a year Will and Mara feel like themselves again. Their new friends have handed them back a life they thought was gone for good.

Their new friends have also stopped leaving.

The mail comes for them now. The locks won’t hold. And slowly, gently, with a smile and a warm hand and never one single thing you could point to, Elliot and June begin to take the house, the money, and the marriage apart from the inside.

Because Elliot and June don’t choose their victims by accident. They hunt the ones with a secret. The ones who can never, ever call the police. And the Ameses, it turns out, light up like a town from the air.

Snowed in, cut off, and quietly turned against each other, Will and Mara will have to decide how far they’ll go to survive their own guests, and who they’ll become if they do.

A slow-burn psychological thriller about guilt, marriage, and the terrible warmth of being chosen. For readers of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware, and Lucy Foley.
