"A witch s brew of family dysfunction, perversity, and murder." Publishers Weekly
"The Show House is at once a nuanced psychological thriller and a thoughtful exploration of familial love and dysfunction set in sun-stroked, hurricane-threatened Orlando. Danger lurks around every corner. This is a compelling debut by a talented new writer. " Edan Lepucki, author of California"
