It begins with one murder. A young woman found dead in her home — a break-in, or so it seems.
But Samantha Leary has seen enough to know when something doesn’t add up. The details are too careful. The violence feels too personal. And the house itself — immaculate, silent, untouched except for what happened inside — holds a presence she can’t quite name.
As Samantha digs deeper, the evidence twists back on itself. Every lead exposes another layer of manipulation, another reason to doubt what she sees. Someone wanted this scene to tell a story. Someone wanted her to follow it.
Murder House is the first novel in the Samantha Leary Psychological Thriller series — a taut, unsettling exploration of control, deceit, and the human need to make sense of what should never have happened.
