Summary:
From New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison comes a twisted psychological thriller about the bonds of family and the disconnect between memory and the truth.
Come here. Come closer.
Halley James knows her marriage is over. But she’s not prepared for the rest of her life to fall apart too.
No one can hear you. No one can help you.
She just lost her job at the forensics lab. Her dad needs emergency surgery. But the biggest blow comes back home in Marchburg, Virginia, where she discovers her mother didn’t actually die in a car crash. Her mom was murdered—and her father lied about it all these years.
I have nothing to hide from you. Are you hiding something from me?
Since she was six years old, it’s been Halley and her dad. Now, she doesn’t know what to believe. Desperate for the truth, Halley chases down a lead in Brockville, Tennessee. But all there is not as it seems. Brockville’s utopian charm hides a chilling darkness. And Halley’s search for answers threatens to expose an unspeakable reality.
My thoughts:
It’s no secret I’m a fan of J.T. Ellison and this latest book did not disappoint! I always love psychological thrillers that play around with memory and the way Ellison does it here really keeps you guessing as to what is going on and what really happened. The added cat and mouse game just ups the suspense, giving this that frantic pacing that makes you not want to put it down once you’ve started it. Her books might be a little thick, but you absolutely fly through them!
