Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist can't trust their own mind or the people around them.
  • You enjoy Mary Burton's other work and want more twisty, character-driven suspense with high personal stakes.
  • You're drawn to stories set in isolated locations where secrets unravel and the truth keeps shifting.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced plots over internal psychological tension and unreliable narrators.
  • You want your mysteries solved methodically by a detective or investigator rather than uncovered through a traumatised protagonist's fractured memories.
  • You need clear, linear timelines and straightforward reveals rather than layered revelations and lingering ambiguity.

About this book

Lane McCord survives a near-fatal fall at a North Carolina beach cottage, but her boyfriend Kyle does not. She remembers only lying at the bottom of the stairs in his blood. Uncertain whether the incident was a tragic accident or something more deliberate, Lane returns to the cottage to collect her belongings. Stranded by a winter rainstorm, Lane encounters a neighbor who claims to have heard a violent argument before the accident, and a detective investigating a missing woman. The detective's discovery of the missing woman's diary deepens the mystery and raises troubling questions about what truly occurred at the cottage. As Lane struggles to piece together her memories and understand the events surrounding Kyle's death, she must confront difficult questions about how well she knew him—and how well she knows herself. The answers that emerge force her to determine who she can trust to survive the situation.
