Don't Worry, Darling

Her world is flawless—unless you zoom in too close. The breath-taking new thriller by award-winning and SPIEGEL bestselling author Vera Buck

Millions want a life just like hers, and yet she’s living a precarious lie.

In the luxury community of Sancta Familia, Florida, Lea finally has found everything she’s always longed for: a safe home, a daughter she loves more than anything, and a husband who fulfills her every wish. Millions celebrate her glamorous life online—although her sister Paula mistrusts the flawless staging. When Lea suddenly goes silent, a concerned Paula travels from Germany to Florida. But Lea isn’t in Sancta Familia. Her husband claims she’s on a retreat, yet why are there no signs of life? The deeper Paula delves into the ostensibly idyllic world of the community, the more visible the cracks become. A strict set of rules requires unconditional obedience, and women who resist drop out of sight . . .
