“Narrator Susannah Jones gives an emotive and ethereal performance. Her expressive delivery of the dual narrative yields a tense, terrifying listening experience… This audio will appeal to listeners seeking fast-paced, frightening suspense about sisterhood, suspicion, and sinister secrets.” – Lauren Hackert, Library Journal

It’s not that they’ve been all that close in the past few years, but sisters Willa and Sawyer Stannard are bonded by the ups and downs of the life they’ve lived with their mercurial single mother. When Willa is found dead in her apartment from an apparent suicide, Sawyer just knows it’s not possible. A cryptic note from the acclaimed broadcast journalist leads police to rule out foul play. Shattered by grief—and obsessed by the idea that her sister’s death was not a suicide—Sawyer plunges into a search for the truth. When Sawyer learns that Willa was writing an explosive true-crime book about the decades-old disappearance of a toddler that rocked a small town hundreds of miles away, she’s even more convinced that Willa’s death is suspicious. Believing it is somehow connected to the research Willa was doing for the book, Sawyer begins to trace her sister’s steps, deep into a community she can’t begin to understand and to a truth that could destroy her as easily as it did Willa. As she masterfully ratchets up the suspense, Robards never loosens her grip in a debut novel sure to keep listeners guessing—and talking.
