Synopsis
"An unnerving and suspenseful novel, HOUSE. TREE. PERSON. is McPherson's best yet."
--Karin Slaughter, New York Times and international bestselling author
A year ago, she was happily married, running her beauty salon, raising her son, living in her dream house. Now Ali McGovern's dreams are slipping away and all her old ghosts are rising.
A job at Howell Hall, the private psychiatric facility nearby, seems too good to be true. Why have they employed her? How can they afford her? And what are they hiding? When a body is discovered in a shallow grave on Ali's first day at work, it feels like one last horror. But it's just the beginning of her descent into a nightmare world she never imagined existed, far too close to home.
Synopsis
"An unnerving and suspenseful novel, House. Tree. Person. is McPherson's best yet."--Karin Slaughter, New York Times and international bestselling author
The body found in a muddy grave across the street is just the latest horror threatening to tear Ali McGovern's life apart seam by seam. She knows Angelo, her brooding teenage son, is keeping secrets. She fears he's in danger, too. But her new job at the psychiatric hospital, the job her husband pushed her into, is using up everything she's got every day. She can try to ignore the sounds that surely can't really be there. And she can try to trust the doctors, who can't be as dark as they seem. But can Ali hold herself, her life, and her family together without getting blood on her hands?
Praise:
"McPherson is a master of creating psychological tension and doubts about the motives of her characters . . . The clever way McPherson reveals each hint of the truth makes this a one-sitting read."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
