Karen's newest novel!

It was risky, but Sarah thought she could pull it off. The Caldwells would be gone for at least a month, so the house was empty. She’d stay one night, maybe two, find out what she needed to know, then slip out the door without a trace. That was the plan, anyway.

​

Her first morning as an uninvited guest, the doorbell rang, startling her. Sarah ignored it at first, but when the visitor persisted, she finally gave in, opening the door to see the neighbor, an elderly woman named Maggie, who wanted to know what she was doing there.

​

Her practiced explanation came easily. “I’m the house sitter,” she said. Even as Maggie reluctantly accepted her lie, Sarah knew that time was running out.
