Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers rooted in real events and want the claustrophobia of a small town where everyone has something to hide.
You're drawn to stories where teenage girls are the ones doing the investigating, not waiting to be rescued.
You appreciated Unspeakable Things or Bloodline and want more of Lourey's particular brand of unsettling Minnesota noir.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a fast-paced whodunit with constant plot twists. This builds dread through atmosphere and secrets more than shock reveals.
You prefer thrillers that stay light or end tidily. This one sits in murky moral territory and doesn't offer easy comfort.
You're looking for a standalone. This is better suited to readers who like to sit with a story and let it unsettle them slowly.

About this book

Minnesota, 1977. In a close-knit community, teenagers spend their summers at the quarry, the county fair, and exploring tunnels beneath the city. Best friends Heather and Brenda share a secret—something they witnessed in the dark that they've vowed never to reveal. When their friend disappears, becoming the second girl to vanish in a week, their secret takes on new urgency. The authorities show little interest in investigating. Heather fears the missing girls are connected to what she and Brenda saw that night. As she searches for answers on her own, she discovers that people in her community are not what they appear to be—including the police, the boys from the quarry, and even her own parents. Desperate to find the missing girls before it's too late, Heather continues her investigation despite the danger. She knows the girls are in peril, and she knows she may be next.
