Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers where the protagonist is unreliable and you can't trust your own sense of what's real.
  • You like mysteries that span years and connect past crimes to present danger in unexpected ways.
  • You appreciate tight plotting where every detail matters and the ending recontextualises what came before.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer thrillers where the protagonist is actively investigating and in control rather than confused and vulnerable.
  • You want a cosy mystery or procedural focus on police work rather than a character trapped in her own fractured mind.
  • You need resolved subplots and clear answers; open questions or ambiguity frustrate you.

About this book

Twin sisters Marisa and Clare Stockton were sixteen when Clare's body was found in Virginia's James River. The murder went unsolved. Fourteen years later, Marisa works as a photographer and has built a life with supportive friends, but she continues to struggle with the unresolved tragedy. A recent car crash has left Marisa with ten days of missing memories. Her phone has vanished, along with text messages and calls from that period. A photograph she took of the river has also disappeared. A new neighbor appears unfamiliar to Marisa, despite her belief that she knows him. She becomes increasingly convinced that the accident was intentional rather than accidental. As Marisa experiences dreams of Clare alongside nightmares of the crash, two separate puzzles from fourteen years apart begin to intersect. While struggling to recover her lost memories and piece together what happened, Marisa draws closer to identifying a killer—unaware that he is simultaneously closing in on her.
