Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist uncovers something darker than they bargained for, especially when their own history becomes part of the mystery.
  • You enjoy crime stories set in isolated communities where paranoia builds naturally—strange neighbours, odd sounds, mounting dread.
  • You appreciate books with strong, flawed female leads who are desperate to prove themselves and willing to take dangerous risks to do it.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer thrillers driven by action and plot twists over character development and internal conflict.
  • You need a fast-paced page-turner without slower investigative or introspective sections.
  • You're looking for a cosy mystery or a whodunit with a satisfying puzzle to solve—this is more atmospheric dread than detective work.

About this book

At 36, Katie Cope finds herself far from where she expected to be. Her journalism career has narrowed to writing pop culture pieces, her dream of motherhood has stalled in a struggling marriage, and when her husband achieves business success, she feels increased pressure to accomplish something meaningful. Katie discovers a troubling connection between a wealthy housing development in the Colorado mountains and missing girls, presenting what could be her breakthrough story. After moving into the community to investigate, she becomes unsettled by disturbing sights in her neighbor's windows and strange footsteps in the snow leading from the woods to her back door. She begins questioning whether pursuing this story is worth the risk to her safety. As Katie uncovers something seriously wrong in the mountains of Carson's Pass, she realizes her own past may be connected to the disappearances. To learn the truth, she must risk becoming missing herself.
