Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators and family secrets that unravel in unexpected ways.
  • You're drawn to small-town settings where everyone has something to hide and the past bleeds into the present.
  • You want a plot-driven page-turner with a twist that actually lands, not something you see coming from chapter two.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven stories over plot mechanics and don't care much for high-concept mystery structures.
  • You're looking for cosy crime or lighter thrillers without dark family trauma and murder at the centre.
  • You get frustrated with amnesia plots and find them a lazy narrative device rather than compelling storytelling.

About this book

Steppy Corner, host of the true crime podcast All the Dark Corners, wakes in a hospital in Heartsick, Colorado with no memory of the car accident that brought her there. She cannot recall why she was driving up the mountainside to her parents' house late at night or why she failed to make a bend in the road. She learns that her mother has been murdered and her brother is the prime suspect. As Steppy attempts to reconstruct the events leading up to the crash, she uncovers her brother's connection to another case: a missing girl last seen with him on Halloween. Steppy understands that truth often remains hidden, but as she works to unravel the web of secrets and lies surrounding these events, she must confront the possibility that the answers may be too close to home. This thriller features a twisting, claustrophobic plot with a conclusion that shifts the narrative's direction.
