Driving past McKenna's house one night, she sees what she knows only too well from her own marriage: McKenna's "perfect" husband is not what he seems. Leah decides to keep watch over McKenna, until one night, she intervenes, and sets into motion events that will change both their lives forever. Leah and McKenna have never met.

The Favor : A Novel
A gripping debut domestic suspense novel, Nora Murphy's thrilling The Favor explores with compassion and depth what can happen when women pushed to the limit take matters into their own hands. "A thrilling debut--I couldn't put it down!"--Shari Lapena, #1 internationally bestselling author of Not a Happy Family and The Couple Next Door Leaving would be dangerous. Staying could be worse. Leah and McKenna have never met, though they have parallel lives. They don't -- ever -- find themselves in the same train carriage or meet accidentally at the gym or the coffee shop. They don't -- ever -- discuss their problems and find common ground. They don't -- ever -- acknowledge to each other that although their lives have all the trappings of success, wealth and happiness, they are, in fact, trapped. Leah understands that what's inside a home can be far more dangerous than what's outside. So when she notices someone else who may be starting down the same path she's on, she pays attention. She watches over McKenna from afar. Until one night she sees more than she bargained for. Leah knows she can't save herself, but perhaps she can save McKenna. Leah and McKenna have never met. But they will.
