Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers where the detective work feels genuine and the puzzle pieces surprise you at the end.
  • You're drawn to high-stakes setups like locked-room mysteries where geography traps everyone together.
  • You appreciate crime fiction that treats trauma seriously and doesn't flinch from what violence actually costs.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need graphic violence spelled out in detail to feel engaged by a crime story.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries over series where you'd want the full context of previous cases.
  • You're looking for police procedurals with team dynamics rather than a single PI working the case.

About this book

Three people are murdered in a brutal attack on Bainbridge Island. A fourth victim survives—a woman blind from birth who heard the entire crime but saw nothing. She is traumatized and barely able to speak. Private investigator Thomas Austin is called to help her communicate what she heard. When she finally opens up, the investigation takes a shocking turn: the killer is one of five people she was dating. A rare summer storm strands Austin on the island, trapping him with the killer before the bridges and ferries reopen. As he works to solve the case, a second massacre occurs—even more brutal than the first. Austin realizes the killer's true motive is far more disturbing than he initially believed. This is the fourth book in the Thomas Austin Crime Thriller series.
