The Handyman

I didn’t plan on coming home at forty-three, newly divorced, unemployed, and feeling like the biggest failure in my family. But when everything in my life collapsed, my childhood home was the only place left to go. I told myself it would be temporary—just long enough to get back on my feet and take care of my mother.

But the house had problems I couldn’t fix. So I hired a handyman who could.

Lance Cutler walked in with confidence, charm, and every solution we needed. My mother welcomed him like he was a gift sent straight from heaven. And I wanted to believe that, too. I really did.

But something feels wrong.

The way he looks at me. The way he moves through our home like he belongs there. And the day I realized someone had sorted through my underwear drawer… I knew I needed to start paying attention.

Now I’m trying to figure out whether I’m imagining all of this—or whether I’ve brought the wrong man into our lives.

And if I have… how do I get him out?

If you enjoy tense, twisty domestic thrillers where home doesn't feel safe anymore, The Handyman will pull you in and refuse to let go until the final, stunning page.
