Letting her into your home was your first mistake…
Rose is a dedicated wife and mother to her husband Grant and her son James. Having recently moved to a grand mansion in Florida, Rose is keen for James to fit in with his new life and hires a tutor.
Isabel is young, smart and beautiful, and not only gets along with James, but she gets results.
But when Isabel starts to get too close for comfort, Rose can’t help but think that Isabel is looking for more than just tutoring.
Can Rose uncover who exactly she has let into her house, or will this lesson be deadly?
Don’t miss this utterly gripping psychological thriller with a heart-stopping twist, perfect for fans of Valerie Keogh and Daniel Hurst.
Thanks to effective foreshadowing, author Courtney Psak takes readers on a suspenseful journey full of misdirection.
The Tutor opens with a stalkerish vibe featuring a young woman named Isabel. The story then shifts to introduce Rose, a newlywed widow with a teen son who moves with her husband to care for his ailing mother, Evelyn, in a ritzy mansion in Florida.
The story shifts focus between the three women, dropping subtle clues as the plot develops. At the center is Rose’s husband, Grant. Practically everyone except Rose’s son has an explosive secret.
Even with great wealth, the Caldwell family is just as susceptible to dysfunctional interactions. It was interesting to see how effectively the author orchestrates conflict among the characters, which serves to influence reader perceptions of “good” and “bad” people.
The Tutor offers a psychological thriller with a shocking twist.
