Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Fully realized, wholly absorbing and almost painfully suspenseful...The journey is mesmerizing.” —New York Times

A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf.

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls—haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.

Don’t miss Heather’s next page-turning thriller, THE PERFECT HOSTS!

This is freaking scary, dark! My favorite kind of high tension mystery! And it’s finally OUT! My back, my legs but mostly my brain cells are seriously numb!

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on February 01, 2022

Exciting mystery/thriller! Gudenkauf's books are kind of hit or miss for me, but this one is definitely a hit. There are three separate storylines: --Present day with true crime writer Wylie hunkered down in a house in order to finish her book. One night a horrible ice storm hits and Wylie finds a yo......more

Goodreads review by Joey on May 28, 2022

2.5 stars— I can’t believe I am giving this book 2.5 stars after the first three quarters of it was so entertaining. In fact I was considering a 5 star rating until I got to a certain part of the book I like to call — “The Most Ridiculous Coincidence in The History of Books.” If you have read this b......more

Goodreads review by Michael on February 02, 2022

A tense and atmospheric mystery/thriller. Wylie Lark is a true crime writer, staying in a secluded farmhouse in a small town to write her latest novel. Years earlier, vicious killings took place at the same exact farmhouse. Now, as a terrible snow storm rages outside, Wylie should have plenty of time......more
