Perfect for you if...

  • You love mysteries with genuine twists that don't telegraph their punches, and you want a plot that keeps you guessing until the final pages.
  • You're drawn to thrillers that go beyond the surface crime and ask harder questions about the victim's own choices and character.
  • You appreciate fast-paced narratives you can devour in a sitting, with detectives worth following and a central hook that grabs immediately.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your protagonists to be clearly sympathetic from the start, because Rita's moral complexity and shocking revelations might frustrate you.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries without a series framework, since this is book one and leaves room for Hank and Joyce to return.
  • You want straightforward whodunits without existential weight, because this one pivots into questions about self-worth and whether survival is worth fighting for.

About this book

Rita Burch, founder of a major clothing brand, falls from a balcony the night before her company's public offering. Her startup is valued at one billion dollars. The fall leaves her in a coma, fighting for her life. As detectives investigate whether the fall was an accident or intentional, Rita discovers she can leave her body and observe their investigation from outside it. Following the detectives' work, Rita uncovers disturbing truths about herself and those around her. As she learns more, she faces a difficult question: even if she could recover, would she want to return to her life? This is the first book in the Hank & Joyce Idaho Falls Whodunits series.
