"Excellent psychological suspense . . . [Harding's] best so far. . . . This is an excellent cottage weekend book."
-- The Globe and Mail

"Unsettling and darkly sublime, Robyn Harding deftly explores twisted family dynamics and devastating secrets in suburbia in this stunning novel that will shock readers by the final page. The Perfect Family explores a perfect family's perfect façade, and how even perfect lies can become perfect nightmares. A mesmerizing, compulsively readable thriller, this one smoulders from the first page to the last."
-- CHRISTINA McDONALD, USA Today bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell

"A propulsive, constantly surprising read that both entertains and chills--and makes the reader question whether they really know not only their neighbours, but their own family. From the opening page to the shocking last line, I was hooked."
-- LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN, bestselling author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here

"This is a burn-through-it beach read if ever there was one. . . . A classic "things-are-not-what-they-appear" story. In this case, parents Thomas and Viv have nice jobs, a beautiful home and kids. Then one day their shiny life starts to develop cracks as they're targeted by what they think at first is a group of bored, crummy teen vandals. News flash: It's not."
-- Vancouver Sun

"Brilliantly layered, fabulously developed, and interesting characters, and twists and turns galore all made for a compelling read I couldn't put down. Add to that Robyn's wry wit and dark sense of humour that made me laugh out loud, and this is definitely a summer hit. I loved it!"
-- HANNAH MARY McKINNON, bestselling author of Sister Dear and You Will Remember Me

"[A] highly entertaining domestic thriller . . . The brisk plot takes several clever twists before building to a shocking act of violence. Harding is sure to win new fans with this one."
-- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"Edgy, diabolical, and completely suspenseful! The talented Robyn Harding peels back the sleek facade of suburbia to show its disturbing reality--and all the dangerous (and sometimes heartbreaking) secrets that even loving families keep from each other. Incredibly cinematic and jaw-droppingly devious, this book will have you turning the pages as fast as you can."
-- HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN, USA Today bestselling author of The First to Lie

"Unforgettable . . . Readers ready for a rollercoaster 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)

"Harding wields deep community ties like a garrote and redefines terror in suburbia. Breathless pacing and an inescapable sense of menace make Harding's latest an absolute must-read that will scare the hell out of you as only Harding can. This one's a stunner."
-- P.J. VERNON, author of Bath Haus and When You Find Me
