Ours Is a Tale of Murder

"Three seemingly disparate stories, all captivating in their own right, pull the reader toward a shocking collision made all the more satisfying by Murphy's brilliant twists. The stakes are high, the casualties tragic, the losses profound. Clear your schedule--you won't be putting this down until that last, mesmerizing page."

--Carter Wilson, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

One quiet neighborhood

Three different families

Bound by murder

Klara never wanted the house with the white picket fence. Troy never wanted anything else.

Nothing is quite right with this happy couple, but they fit right in. The mother in the blue house, Mary, is cleaning out her son's old room before she sells, haunted by the mistakes of her past and afraid of what her home has become. Next door, Henry, freshly laid off and back living with his parents, has plenty of time to watch everyone - especially wives. He knows something is wrong. But then then nothing is quite as it seems, and sometimes you miss what is right in front of you.

Murder will soon thread its way through this world in ways no one will see coming ---unless you've been plotting all along.
