Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy police procedurals with a personal edge, where the detective's hometown secrets complicate the investigation.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need fast-paced action and can't tolerate slower character-focused investigation sequences.

  • You're looking for cosy mysteries with lighter stakes rather than darker, more complex crime stories.

About this book

Detective Riley Quinn has returned to her hometown of Pine Brooke, a quiet town where many of the mysteries in her own life originated. When a missing person case involving a young woman named Delilah Preston emerges, Riley is drawn into unexpected complications. Delilah vanished while heading home after a baby shower. As Riley and her partner investigate this case alongside reports of teenage disturbances in the area, a body matching Delilah's description is discovered near the location where she was last seen. However, the dead woman is not Delilah, and the town is shocked by her actual identity. As Riley's past and present mysteries begin to intersect, Pine Brooke reveals itself to contain dangers beyond what initially appeared on the surface.
