**"We're so excited to have you here in our home." My boyfriend's mother smiles at me a little too wide. His father's eyes are hard at the edges. It's like they're hiding something. But of course, I already know that...**

  

**The mother:** Stay-at-home mother **Marta** lives in her successful husband's shadow, overlooked by him ever since her darling son **Owen** went to medical school. She's not about to let the beautiful **Gina** take Owen away from her. Marta will play nice, get Gina to trust her. And then she has a plan of her own.

  

**The son:** Owen is already certain he wants to marry Gina. She's perfect. They just have to get through this weekend and then he'll propose. Sure, his mom can be overprotective. But Owen knows why. He knows what she's hiding.

  

**The girlfriend:** Ever since purposefully running into Dr Owen Whitlock at the hospital, Gina has been playing the doting girlfriend. She didn't mean to fall for Owen's charms for real... Now she's finally meeting his parents at their sprawling, secluded home. Gina knows all about the terrible secrets this family is covering up. And she'll do _anything_ to make sure they never find out who she really is.

  

**By the end of the weekend, the Whitlock's beautiful house will have burned to the ground.** And someone won't make it out alive...

  

**_Meet the Parents_ is an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you up reading late into the night! Fans of _The Housemaid_, _The Girl in Seat 2A_ and _The Perfect Marriage_ will be totally hooked.**
