Perfect for you if...

You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist knows something dangerous but nobody believes them.
You're drawn to small-town settings where everyone has secrets and isolation breeds terror.
You appreciate female leads who trust their instincts over police procedures and social pressure.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots that move from discovery to resolution without dwelling on the psychological cat-and-mouse game.
You need clear resolution by the final page rather than cliffhangers that demand you buy the next book.
You're uncomfortable with stories centred on violence against young women, even when handled with restraint.

About this book

Carolyn Ryder returns to her hometown of Willow Falls to attend her mother's funeral and step away from her FBI career. She expects a quiet time to grieve and recover. However, Willow Falls has changed. A new neighbor has recently arrived—someone who appears polite, quiet, and ordinary. When a local girl is discovered dead in the frozen woods, Carolyn becomes convinced that her new neighbor is responsible. The local police dismiss her concerns, and the town offers no support. Left to rely on her instincts and professional experience, Carolyn recognizes the signs of a dangerous individual. Unlike a passing threat, this killer lives nearby. The story explores the tension between Carolyn's certainty and her isolation as she confronts a threat that no one else will acknowledge.
