Too Close to Home

When the Langleys, the neighbors of the Cutter family, are brutally murdered in their home one hot night in August, it sends shockwaves through the seemingly tranquil suburb of Promise Falls. The Cutters find themselves haunted by the proximity of such a violent act, clinging to the notion that such a tragedy couldn’t possibly occur again in the same neighborhood. However, a disturbing possibility emerges: what if the killers meant to target the Cutters, not the Langleys? At first, the thought seems absurd, but each member of the Cutter family hides secrets they are desperate to protect. Teenage Derek Cutter and his friend Adam Langley stumbled upon an old computer — but what was on it, and where has it disappeared to? Meanwhile, Ellen Cutter seems to be under the influence of a local academic and bestselling writer, and Jim Cutter harbors knowledge about Mrs. Langley that even her husband was unaware of. Unraveling the mystery behind the Langleys' murder requires that everyone’s hidden truths come to light. Yet, the most crucial secret of all — the one that could lead to salvation or devastation — lies in the last place anyone would consider exploring.
