Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime fiction anchored by personal grief and unresolved family trauma, not just procedural puzzles.
  • You're drawn to protagonists who are damaged but brilliant, especially those working within the fields they were victimised by.
  • You appreciate supernatural elements woven subtly into realistic crime narratives rather than dominating the plot.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your mysteries light and cosy, without the weight of ongoing psychological damage or grief.
  • You want clear answers and tidy resolution rather than books that sit with ambiguity and unsettled emotion.
  • You're sensitive to graphic depictions of violence against young women or detailed crime scene descriptions.

About this book

Rosie Thompson, eighteen years old, was crowned Homecoming Queen the night she disappeared from her home. Her body was discovered in a park the following morning, devastating her family and shocking her town. Fifteen years later, Rosie's sister Olivia still grieves her murder and continues to see her sister's ghost. Olivia has built a career studying serial killers, seeking closure for Rosie's death and the deaths of other victims. When a new murder surfaces with connections to her past, old wounds reopen. Nate Tucker, a successful Chicago detective and Olivia's best friend, has long been invested in the Thompson case. When a dead girl is found under circumstances similar to Rosie's murder, Nate recognizes the connection. Armed with fifteen-year-old memories and limited evidence, he pursues both the current case and the unsolved death of the Homecoming Queen that continues to haunt those left behind.
