A Novel of Suspense
The body found in a muddy grave across the street is just the latest horror threatening to tear apart Ali McGovern's life seam by seam. Can Ali hold herself, her life and her family together without getting blood on her hands?
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.
"Starred Review. 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
"McPherson keeps the suspense level high; her heroine comes across as clinically interesting but not particularly sympathetic." - Publishers Weekly
"An unnerving and suspenseful novel, House. Tree. Person. is McPherson's best yet." - Karin Slaughter, New York Times and international bestselling author
