Overview
This four-book paperback collection brings together some of Shari Lapena's most gripping domestic suspense novels: A Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest, Someone We Know, and Not a Happy Family. Each title stands on its own, so readers can dive in without worrying about reading order. Lapena, an internationally bestselling and New York Times bestselling author, is known for fast-paced plots, ordinary settings turned sinister, and twists that catch readers off guard. This set is a great pick for fans of psychological suspense seeking a satisfying binge of page-turners, whether packed for a beach bag, a long flight, or a cozy night in.

About the Books
Shari Lapena writes the kind of thrillers that unsettle the everyday: a quiet suburban street, a happy marriage, a family dinner. In this collection, that unease takes four different shapes. A Stranger in the House follows a husband whose wife vanishes and returns changed, unraveling secrets buried in their marriage. An Unwanted Guest traps a group of strangers at a remote mountain inn during a snowstorm, where a killer is picking off guests one by one. Someone We Know explores the fallout when a teenager's habit of breaking into neighbors' houses and computers uncovers secrets nobody wanted exposed. Not a Happy Family opens with the brutal murder of a wealthy couple after a tense Easter dinner, leaving their three adult children as the prime suspects. Across all four novels, Lapena's signature style shines through: clipped, propulsive chapters, multiple points of view, and a steady drip of misdirection that keeps readers guessing until the final pages. These are tense, character-driven thrillers about how well we actually know the people closest to us — spouses, neighbors, siblings, and parents. Fans of authors like Liane Moriarty or Ruth Ware will recognize the same appetite for domestic secrets and slow-building dread. Sold together in this paperback collection, the four novels offer hours of continuous, absorbing reading from an author whose books have sold in dozens of countries around the world.
