"Great psychological suspense with a wallop of a twist." —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub makes her trade paperback debut with a fast-paced thriller in the vein of Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs and Megan Collins' The Winter Sister. Here, a family making a fresh start moves into a house which was the site of an unsolved triple homicide—and are watched by an unknown person...
The watcher sees who you are...and knows what you did.
It's the perfect home for the perfect family: pretty Nora Howell, her handsome husband, their two teenage daughters, and lovable dog. As California transplants making a fresh start in Brooklyn, they expected to live in a shoebox, but the brownstone has a huge kitchen, lots of light, and a backyard. The catch: its previous residents were victims of a grisly triple homicide that remains unsolved.
Soon, peculiar things begin happening. The pug is nosing around like a bloodhound. Nora unearths a long-hidden rusty box in the flowerbed. Oldest daughter Stacey, obsessed with the family murdered in their house, pokes into the bloody past and becomes convinced that a stranger is watching the house. Watching them.
She's right. But one of the Howells will recognize his face. Because one of them has a secret that will blindside the others with a truth that lies shockingly close to home—and to this one's terrifying history.

"Great psychological suspense with a wallop of a twist." — Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"A twisty ride steeped in betrayal. The perfect winter read!" — J.D. Barker, NY Times bestselling author of A Caller's Game
"Wendy Corsi Staub has always been one of my favorite writers, but she surpasses even her best work with The Other Family. A chilling and addictive novel of suspense, it also speaks deep truths about family ties – and how they can support or destroy us. I really loved this book." — Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author
"Creepy families, big secrets, and lingering questions come together in this twisty page turner that will have you speed reading to try to figure it out." — Darby Kane, #1 international bestseller
"Dark, twisty, and irresistible, The Other Family is domestic suspense turned up to 11, the gripping tale of one family's cross-country move to Brooklyn—and the explosive revelations that follow when one woman is finally forced to reckon with her past. From her pitch-perfect characterizations to her unerring sense of plot and pace, Wendy Corsi Staub displays a command of the form that's not merely masterful—it's practically diabolical." — Elizabeth Little, author of Pretty as a Picture
"Expect to sleep with the lights on." — Popsugar
"The prolific Corsi Staub turns in a stellar performance, creating a palpable sense of dread and generating the kind of suspense that keeps readers glued to the page." — Booklist
"...a complex and chilling tale of secrets and deception that generates tension that hooks the reader from the start and maintains that hold through myriad twists and a final chapter that delivers revelatory and harrowing shocks. Staub excels...as she spins an addictive tale..." — Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
"a twisty-turny family drama filled with secrets ... readers will be gobsmacked." — The Big Thrill
"Shocking." — Denver Post
"Chilling domestic thriller... Staub reliably entertains." — Publishers Weekly
"The Other Family is Wendy Corsi Staub's triumphant return to her roots. While the trilogies of recent years allowed her to show the true breadth and depth of her talents, there's an undeniable appeal to standalone efforts such as this. The simplicity of the storytelling is immediately arresting and immersive, even as you come to realize just how complex the book's plotting and precision really is." — CriminalElement.com

The Howell Family has uprooted itself from its California home to spend a year in a New York City rental. It's a nice house, maybe a bit small for Nora and her husband and their two children, but it has lots of character. The house's past includes a story that is either really cool or really unsettling, depending on your point of view: years ago, the house was the scene of a triple murder. While one of her children seems fascinated by the story (the girl is a true-crime buff), Nora is altogether creeped out. And, after she becomes convinced someone is watching her family, she starts to wonder whether her loved ones are in jeopardy. The prolific Corsi Staub turns in a stellar performance, creating a palpable sense of dread and generating the kind of suspense that keeps readers glued to the page.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This chilling domestic thriller from bestseller Staub (The Black Widow) opens with the arrival of Nora and Keith Howell and their daughters, 14-year-old Piper and 17-year-old Stacey, in Brooklyn from L.A. Nora and Keith hope to piece their marriage back together; Piper is looking forward to exploring New York City; and true crime aficionado Stacey is soon captivated by the boy down the street, who tells her that, 25 years earlier in the Howells’ new brownstone home, someone killed a family—father, mother, and teenage daughter—as they slept. The murders are still unsolved. Stacey is unnerved as she learns more about the house’s history and realizes a stranger is stalking her. Nora’s discovery of a metal box in the garden and a creepy photo puts her on edge, and she becomes certain that the house’s bloody past is reaching out to ensnare her family. Are the neighbors just welcoming, or are they too anxious to befriend the Howells? The suspense rises as it emerges that the Howell family’s chances of surviving hang on one of its members revealing a dark secret. Staub reliably entertains. Agent: Laura Blake Peterson, Curtis Brown.
