"Explosive, addictive, and impossible to put down."
—Noelle Ihli, bestselling author of
Such Quiet Girls

Those lucky enough to live in the elite lakefront community of Cloverhill Lakes are drawn to it for its safety and top-notch school district. The moms meet for coffee at the park while their kids play, they’re heavily involved in the PTA, and the summers are filled with chardonnay, brunch, sundresses, and backyard bonfires.

But everything changes when Regan Hoffman’s car explodes at the annual Labor Day party. The wrong person is killed, but it was meant for her. As the carefully crafted walls of her community begin to crumble, Regan tries to keep it together—something made infinitely harder when she sees her dead husband…alive.

When a Cloverhill Lakes resident suddenly goes missing, dark secrets begin to surface from underneath the idyllic veneer of their beautiful community—and the truth threatens to destroy them all as Regan finds herself in a fight for her life.

Praise for this book

"From the explosive opening to the introspective ending, Too Close to Home is an exciting and wild ride depicting how lives can spin out of control when someone is hell bent on revenge. The three suburban wives' stories intertwine seamlessly, and this will be a definite standout in the cul-de-sac thriller genre." - Jaime Lynn Hendricks

"This book was explosive, addictive, and impossible to put down - Glass just raised the bar for domestic thrillers." - Noelle W Ihli

"Too Close to Home has one of the best twists I've ever read. Nobody does 'suburban thriller' like Seraphina Nova Glass. A masterclass in tension building." - Nicola Sanders
