About this listen

Dawn Decker is an American everywoman and the salt to her husband Wyatt's sweet, media-friendly charm on their Tennessee-based home renovation reality TV show, The Perfect Home. While Dawn bristles at the trappings of their D-list celebrity status, Wyatt hungers for greater fame. The couple also faces infertility issues stemming from Wyatt's low sperm count. He secretly orders experimental fertility drugs, and they conceive, but his personality takes a dark turn – he becomes moody, withdrawn and even cruel.

When Dawn discovers his horrifying plot to manufacture a tragedy in order to skyrocket their celebrity status, she takes their infant twins and goes on the run. Wyatt appears on national television to turn the public against her, painting Dawn as an unstable kidnapper suffering from postpartum psychosis. His charm is so compelling that even Dawn's closest friends doubt her. She will have to dig deep into the past – both hers and Wyatt's – to find allies, protect her children and beat this beloved all-American celebrity at his own game.

Critic reviews

'A unique and enthralling thriller from a great new voice in the genre. Kenitz takes a wrecking ball to the fable of the perfect home while at the same time skewering the culture of fame. Both dark and fun with twists you won’t see coming.' (Alex Finlay, bestselling author of If Something Happens to Me)
'Kenitz crafts a terrifying modern-day villain and turns the perfect home into a nightmare with proficiency and horrifying pizzazz.' (Associated Press)
'f you've always thought there was a strangely dark undercurrent to home-improvement shows, you might enjoy The Perfect Home too.' (NPR)
'Wickedly entertaining … sharp, unpredictable and chock-full of suspense ...' (Publishers Weekly)
