Decades of doubt, fear, and suspicion won't let a woman overcome her trauma in a riveting novel of suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Jane Doe and The Hook.
The murder of Elise Rockwood's sister shattered her family. Their mother's anxiety kept her housebound. Elise's paranoid brother, Kyle, saw conspiracies everywhere. Elise numbed her grief in an aimless lifestyle that left her emotionally broken. All of them victims. A local boy eventually confessed, but the damage was already done.
Years later, Elise is reinventing herself. She's bought a mountain lodge to be close to home again and to find stability. Not even an email from her ex tempts her into revisiting the past. But Kyle won't let it go. He still believes there's more to their sister's murder—and the confession—than meets the eye. When Elise's ex is found dead in the same forest where her sister went missing decades before, Elise is finally willing to listen.
The traumas of the past are reemerging. So is the truth. Elise's greatest fear now is who will survive it.
My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I love her stories, the mysteries and characters are just so entertaining to read, and I had a really fantastic time with this latest book! This story about this family broken by a murder was so compelling!
Really, I felt for Elise, who lost her sister, and her family fell apart. I can understand why she wouldn't want to revisit it, even if there was someone who confessed. To have an ex try and get her to do so? Yeah, I can definitely see why she wouldn't want to do that!
The complicated relationships that this family had, and all the complicated emotions, which were to be expected, which added to the drama and the tension of the plot, to add red herrings to the mix of the mystery. I just wanted to know what was going on!
This story had so many ups and downs and twists and turns, I just had to keep reading! Oh, but that ending, that was just shocking! But so entertaining to read, and I really enjoyed seeing that all happen, it was just so thrilling!
This was a really great read and I can't wait to read more by Victoria Helen Stone!
