Praise for The Perfect Home
“Wickedly entertaining…sharp, unpredictable, and chock-full of suspense, this domestic thriller expertly toys with readers’ sympathies.”
—Publishers Weekly
“You could easily devour The Perfect Home in one sitting if it wasn’t so nerve-jangling that you have to put it down to regain your composure. This book had me shocked, despondent and furious in turns, and I loved it.”
—Donna Edwards,
Associated Press
“Addictive and utterly compelling, The Perfect Home is a brilliant exploration of the razor-sharp line between love and hate, and the difference between truth and fiction.”
—Christina McDonald,
USA Today bestselling author of What Lies In Darkness
“A unique and enthralling thriller from a great new voice in the genre. Kenitz takes a wrecking ball to the fable of the perfect home while at the same time skewering the culture of fame. Both dark and fun with twists you won’t see coming. A killer debut.”
—Alex Finlay, bestselling author of
If Something Happens to Me

—NPR
