The Hostess. The Blackout, #4

Evelyn has spent fourteen years perfecting the performance. The immaculate house. The flawless dinner parties. The devoted husband who sees exactly what she allows him to see. She is the most controlled woman on the cul-de-sac - and she intends to stay that way. So when a moment of cold calculation leads her to send one anonymous text from a burner phone, she tells herself it is harmless. A small detonation.
Nothing she cannot manage. She is wrong. Within an hour, the street is a crime scene - and a stranger in a dark house at the end of the cul-de-sac has photographed all of it, traced every thread, and sent the evidence directly to her phone. The power grid is down. Her husband is twelve feet away. Her guests are finishing their wine. And the clock is running out. The Hostess is the fourth book in The Blackout series - a relentless, multi-POV psychological thriller in which the same catastrophic night is witnessed through four different sets of eyes.
Told entirely from Evelyn's perspective, this is the story of a woman who started a fire and will do absolutely anything to ensure she is never the one who burns. For readers who love Behind Closed Doors, The Woman in the Window, and Big Little Lies - a razor-sharp portrait of a woman whose greatest weapon has always been the one thing no one suspects. Her smile.
