Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers where the killer's identity is genuinely hidden until the reveal, not telegraphed early on.
  • You like small-town settings where everyone knows everyone, making suspicion creep into every conversation.
  • You want a thriller with genuine stakes that builds dread across a full novel without relying on jump-scares.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a fast-paced, quick read. This is a slow-burn mystery that takes time to develop its atmosphere.
  • You prefer thrillers told from the killer's point of view. This is narrated entirely from Natalie's perspective.
  • You're looking for a standalone. This is part of a series featuring Natalie St. John.

About this book

Natalie St. John returns to her hometown of Port Ariel, Ohio, a small town on Lake Erie's shores, hoping to reconnect with old friends and recover from a broken heart while taking a break from her veterinarian practice. Her first night back, she discovers her friend Tamara Peyton murdered. Natalie soon receives terrifying phone calls from a voice claiming to be Tamara, warning that Natalie will also die. As people close to Tamara are killed one by one, Natalie and Sheriff Nick Meredith search for the killer—someone whose true identity remains hidden behind a carefully constructed facade. The murders appear to be acts of vengeance, with Natalie marked as the final target.
