Some monsters don't hide in the dark. They smile across the dinner table.
For nineteen years, Chloe Miller has lived with the story her father gave her: her mother was unstable, her death was tragic, and the past was best left buried. Then a brass key hidden in an attic leads Chloe to Safe Deposit Box 117-and a collection of journals, medical records, photographs, and a name she has never heard before.
Lilith Price has spent her life learning how to recognize a lie. When Chloe appears at her mother's memorial carrying evidence that connects their families, the two women discover they share more than grief. They share a father-and he has spent decades building walls between them.
Mark Miller is a celebrated architect, generous philanthropist, and devoted dad. He is also a man with a carefully designed double life. As Chloe and Lilith follow a trail of missing hours, murdered women, stolen evidence, and secrets their mothers died protecting, they realize the smiling man at the center of their childhoods may already be watching them.
To expose him, the sisters must decide whether they can trust each other-and whether the truth will set them free or make them his final victims.
Dark, tense, and emotionally charged, Monsters Can Smile is a psychological thriller about buried family secrets, sisterhood, betrayal, and the courage required to confront a monster hiding in plain sight.
