<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A sharp, smart, and compulsively readable new novel ... about a picture-perfect family--all hiding dark secrets--whose lives are upended by a dangerously escalating series of pranks"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of the The Swap explores what happens when a seemingly perfect family is pushed to the edge... and beyond in this "propulsive, constantly surprising" (Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here) thriller.Thomas and Viv Adler are the envy of their neighbors: attractive, successful, with well-mannered children and a beautifully restored home. Until one morning, when they wake up to find their porch has been pelted with eggs. It's a prank, Thomas insists; the work of a few out-of-control kids. But when a smoke bomb is tossed on their front lawn, and their car's tires are punctured, the family begins to worry. Surveillance cameras show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies. And the police dismiss the attacks, insisting they're just the work of bored teenagers. Unable to identify the perpetrators, the Adlers are helpless as the assaults escalate into violence, and worse. And each new violation brings with it a growing fear. Because everyone in the Adler family is keeping a secret--not just from the outside world, but from each other. And secrets can be very dangerous.... This twisty, addictively page-turning suspense novel about a perfect family's perfect façade will keep you turning pages until its explosive ending.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for The Perfect Family "Harding creates powerful character studies, reflects on societal expectations from a variety of viewpoints, and ramps up unmanageable chaos in a tale that is unforgettable on many levels. The small cast allows the author to present thoughtful interior monologues as each character considers their actions and responses and makes adjustments before the next event comes along and rearranges our understanding of everything. Readers ready for a roller coaster ride of guilty admissions peppered with red herrings and actual clues pertaining to the crimes committed will read straight to the end. A great choice for fans of Celeste Ng, Gillian Flynn, and Liane Moriarty." -Booklist (Starred Review)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robyn Harding is the author of numerous books, including the international bestseller, <i>The Party</i>, and <i>The Swap</i>, which was an instant #1 <i>Globe and Mail </i>(Toronto) and #1 <i>Toronto Star</i> bestseller.
