About the book

THE BESTSELLING QUEEN OF HORROR RETURNS

‘All the thrills of vintage Stephen King…I loved every second of it. The maestro of macabre does it again’
WILL DEAN

‘Imagine Stephen King colliding with 
The Stepford Wives…an unnerving, slow-burn drenched in malice and suspense. Easily Tudor's strongest novel to date’
JOHN MARRS

‘Brimming with mystery, dread, and characters to root for, 
Serenity Falls is one hell of a good time. Move in at your own risk’
MARCUS KLIEWER

‘An absolute epic, packed with secrets, tragedy, dark humour and great characters’
JOSH WINNING

‘Beautifully sinister...
Serenity Falls takes the dream of suburban perfection and twists it into something deeply unsettling. Creepy, compulsive, and impossible to put down’
GUY MORPUSS


Welcome to Serenity Falls – the most idyllic, and safest, town in the US – a place to grow up, grow your family and grow old together. For Dan and his daughter, Sadie, it’s the perfect relocation option. A fresh start, thousands of miles from their troubled past in the UK.

But their idyll is shattered when they find a dead body in the swimming pool of their new house – a house Dan’s late mother kept secret from him all his life.

It’s just the start of a series of disturbing discoveries. Abandoned houses where people have seemingly just upped and left. The strange woman Sadie sees around town putting up ‘missing’ posters for a child who drowned almost thirty years ago. An ice cream van that drives around at night making sure residents are asleep...

As plans gear up to celebrate Serenity Falls’ fiftieth anniversary, something is stirring beneath the surface of the blissful façade. Is Serenity Falls really the perfect town or is it founded on something far darker? And is someone so desperate to keep its secrets that they’d resort to anything to preserve them?

Welcome to Serenity Falls.
Once you’re here, you’re here to stay.

About the Author

C. J. Tudor

Her first novel, The Chalk Man, was a Sunday Times bestseller and has sold in over forty countries.
