Discussing "The Perfect Home," new novel. Free, but ticket recommended (livestream also available).

media release: Daniel Kenitz’s debut novel, THE PERFECT HOME (Scribner; January 7, 2025), is a suspenseful and witty domestic thriller set in the world of home renovation TV a la Fixer Upper meets Gone Girl, perfect for fans of Riley Sager, Lucey Foley, and Shari LaPena. Daniel’s based in Hartford, and he will be discussing the book at Mystery to Me in Madison, WI on January 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM.

This is a smart, captivating, and twisty thriller – fun and addictive from the very first page – and a commentary on infertility issues and the dangers of the male ego obsessed with traditional masculinity, featuring a woman who becomes public enemy #1 after a horrifying discovery prompts her to flee her celebrity husband with their twin babies.

Already named a most-anticipated book of 2025 by Brit + Co, early readers are loving this “fast-paced” (Brit + Co) debut:

“Wickedly entertaining…sharp, unpredictable, and chock-full of suspense, this domestic thriller expertly toys with readers’ sympathies.” –– Publishers Weekly

 “The pages fly by…an entertaining debut from a promising writer.” –– Kirkus

“This diverting thriller is full of twists…” –– Booklist

“A dark and twisting cat-and-mouse tale in which a marriage set in the public’s glaring eye turns into a real killer. Addictive and utterly compelling, The Perfect Home is a brilliant exploration of the razor-sharp line between love and hate, and the difference between truth and fiction.” –– Christina McDonald, USA Today bestselling author of What Lies In Darkness

“A unique and enthralling thriller from a great new voice in the genre. Kenitz takes a wrecking ball to the fable of the perfect home while at the same time skewering the culture of fame. Both dark and fun with twists you won’t see coming. A killer debut.” –– Alex Finlay, bestselling author of If Something Happens to Me
