Slow Ruin

An INSTANT BESTSELLER and BOOK CLUB PICK!

Library Journal NCIAP Book of the Year

When Felicity marries into the wealthy Portman family, she quickly learns to navigate its tangled dynamics-an overbearing mother-in-law, a troubled brother-in-law, and his effortlessly glamorous wife Marin, who becomes an instant friend.

But everything changes the day Felicity's daughter vanishes without a trace. And Marin was the last one to see her alive.

As the search turns desperate, cracks begin to show in Marin's carefully constructed facade. Her past doesn't add up. Her charm feels like a performance. And when a disturbing journal resurfaces months later, Felicity begins to uncover a chilling pattern-one that reaches back over a century, through generations of secrets the Portman family will do anything to protect.

The deeper Felicity digs, the more she begins to question everything: her marriage, her sanity, and the terrifying possibility that she trusted the wrong person from the very beginning.

The truth will come at a cost.

And not everyone will survive it.
