Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Noelle Ihli and Stacy Willingham, this chilling, riveting thriller unravels the dark secrets behind Chloe Webster’s disappearance and her shocking return twenty-five years later, as her cousin Frankie races to uncover a truth more terrifying than she could imagine.

Chloe Webster is supposed to be dead.

She vanished twenty-five years ago—the night her two friends were brutally murdered at an isolated hot springs. At least…that’s what everyone believes.

Everyone except Chloe’s cousin, Frankie, who never gave up hope that she was alive.

When Chloe unexpectedly shows up at her own annual memorial event, Frankie is overjoyed. But this isn’t the reunion she had imagined. Chloe has no memory of that night in 1999—or her life before her disappearance.

Then Frankie starts getting cryptic messages that imply Chloe knows more than she’s letting on. Frankie wants to trust her cousin, but even more, she wants answers to the questions that have plagued her for decades.

But what if the truth is worse than she could possibly imagine? Is it worth uncovering it at any cost?

I enjoyed this latest Jane Harper novel. I thought it was quite different to her previous books but I also think that while I enjoyed the bulk of it more the ending was perhaps not as satisfying.......more

Goodreads review by Anne Buist on October 15, 2025

This is a book about grief. It is a book about small towns and the emotional consequences of a town dying - in this case because of a mining take over, but it could be all the other reasons small towns die. It’s a surprising book in the sense that it is not quite what I expected (I’ve read all her o......more
