A woman murdered. But was she the real target?

When Esmé Foster comes back to the Boston suburb she left eleven years ago, her return coincides with an unthinkable crime. Kara Cunningham, one of Esmé’s high school friends, is found dead in the woods behind the Fosters’ house.

Esmé is shocked, but haunted by memories of the man at the car accident that killed her mother – and told Esmé he was going to kill her too. Friends insisted this was all in Esmé’s imagination... but she and Kara looked alike. Could the murder be a case of mistaken identity?

Detective Rita Myers is familiar with closeknit communities like Graybridge, where, beneath the friendliness, there are whispers and secrets.

Day by day, Esmé discovers more about the place she left behind—and the friends and family she thought she knew. Soon, shining a light into the darkness to learn what really happened the night Kara died is the only way she can bring the nightmare to an end…

A dark, twisty and addictive domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Claire Douglas and Shari Lapena.
