"Exceedingly entertaining." -The New York Times "Umbrella Academy
meets Tana French. Dark, claustrophobic, and beautifully written."
-Andrea Bartz, author of We Were Never Here From the author of The
Winter Sister and Behind the Red Door, a family obsessed with true
crime gathers to bury their patriarch-only to find another body
already in his grave. At twenty-six, Dahlia Lighthouse is haunted
by her upbringing. Raised in a secluded island mansion deep in the
woods and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed parents, she is
unable to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother, Andy,
when they were sixteen. After several years away and following her
father's death, Dahlia returns to the house, where the family makes
a gruesome discovery: buried in their father's plot is another
body-Andy's, his skull split open with an ax. Dahlia is quick to
blame Andy's murder on the serial killer who terrorized the island
for decades, while the rest of her family reacts to the revelation
in unsettling ways. Her brother, Charlie, pours his energy into
creating a family memorial museum, highlighting their research into
the lives of famous murder victims; her sister, Tate, forges ahead
with her popular dioramas portraying crime scenes; and their mother
affects a cheerfully domestic facade, becoming unrecognizable as
the woman who performed murder reenactments for her children. As
Dahlia grapples with her own grief and horror, she realizes that
her eccentric family, and the mansion itself, may hold the answers
to what happened to her twin.
Three women, connected by one of the most brutal mass slayings in US history. Lucy is sick of turning the other cheek. Ten years ago, an anti-Mormon mob drove her family and friends from their homes in Illinois. But now, the tables have turned. Rumor has it, some of those same men are traveling through Utah on their way to California. And this time, Lucy won’t run. Katrina knew the trek west would be difficult. But she had no idea she’d be walking straight into hell. The young mother of four is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect her family from the violence closing in, but the battle to survive will be more harrowing than anything she can imagine. Sally has just been “gifted” to a man she barely knows—as his fourth wife. Trapped and lonely, she tries to make the best of her new life. But when her husband insists on joining a group of religious zealots’ plans for revenge, she’s forced to reconsider her loyalties. Even if it means putting her own life on the line.
