Book description
A dark, juicy, deliciously unsettling, read-it-in-one-sitting psychological drama. Rose has it all - the gorgeous children, the husband, the beautiful home.

Why read it?
1 author picked Cuckoo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book really influenced the direction I took with my own thriller writing. I remember not being able to put it down.
Julia Crouch is supremely talented at setting the happy family scene whilst bringing in an underlying threat that may bring the ‘perfect family’ to its knees. The joy of psychological thrillers like this one is the feeling of being a voyeur. You are invited into this deliciously idyllic life which slowly disintegrates in front of you. A must read!
From Louise's list on to send shivers down your spine.
