Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girls comes this chilling, harrowing thriller set in rural Vermont about a recluse who believes the young girl he's found in the woods is the reincarnation of his missing daughter, returned to help him solve her and his wife's disappearance.I won’t say a word. Cross my heart and hope to die…Jonah Baum, a professor of poetry at a local college in Vermont, sees his ordinary life come tumbling down when his wife and young daughter vanish from their home. No evidence of a kidnapping. No sign of murder. No proof that Rebecca didn’t simply abandon her marriage. Just Sally’s crude and chilling drawings, Jonah’s little lies, and the sheriff’s nagging fears that nothing is what it seems.For Sally’s best friend, Lucinda, it’s something else. She trusts in Sally not to just disappear, not after they’ve shared so many secrets—especially about the woods and what they saw there. But she’ll never tell. No one would believe her anyway.As the search for Rebecca and Sally intensifies, and as suspicion falls on Jonah, the disappearances become more relentlessly haunting than anyone can imagine. Because what’s seen in the light of day is not nearly as terrifying as what remains hidden in the dark…

Goodreads review by Em on October 26, 2018

Nope. I deeply wish writers would know what the end point of the plot is when they write. Or it just ends up like this and it is bizarre parts of nonsense. There is so much happenstance and then other stuff and then more happenstance and then the unveiling of what happened. Which then makes so littl......more

Goodreads review by Chandra on August 09, 2018

3.5 stars This is a standard case of mother and daughter disappearing with the husband as prime suspect number one. There's an ominous tone set from the beginning with the depths of childhood imagination and that wholehearted importance to keep secrets for your best friend, no matter the consequence......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on June 24, 2022

After having read I Am Not Who You Think I Am ~ by Eric Rickstad (which I really enjoyed), I wanted to read some of his previous books with this book being one of them. What Remains Of Her was a decent read, a little depressing if I’m being honest. It’s super hot where I live right now, and I feel t......more
