The Pool: A Laurel Cove Psychological Domestic Thriller
Every mistake she'd ever made was in a locked drawer. He had the key.
Megan Whitaker designed the perfect life—every room curated, every detail intentional, right down to the blue mug her husband brings her each morning with her coffee.
Except this morning, the mug is gray.
And Ryan swears it’s always been gray.
At first, it’s small things.
An appointment she never misses—missed.
A thermostat she didn’t adjust.
A conversation that doesn’t sound quite the same the second time she hears it.
Then the new neighbor starts asking questions no one in Laurel Cove wants to answer.
Questions about Megan’s marriage.
About the woman who lived in her house before.
About details Megan is certain she never shared.
Details Claire somehow knows anyway.
As the cracks in Megan’s carefully designed life begin to widen, she starts to realize something far more unsettling—
Nothing in her world is accidental.
Not the routines.
Not the silence.
Not even the version of herself she’s been allowed to become.
And the man who built her perfect life…
may not be keeping her safe.
He may be keeping her exactly where he wants her.
In Laurel Cove, the houses are beautiful, the neighbors are watching, and the most dangerous person in your life is the one who takes care of everything.
The first book in a gripping domestic thriller series where one neighborhood hides six different kinds of darkness.
