A twisty thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Fast paced and tense, this book has perhaps the perfect amount of characters and side quests. I was shocked by the ending.
Two families go to the lake for some time away, Courtney and Elliott, and also her brother and sister-in-law, Emily and Nolan. The POV alternates between Courtney and Reese, her niece. After a sleepover with the two littlest cousins, Emily and Nolan are brutally murdered. Their son Wyatt is fast asleep upstairs, and their teenage daughter Reese is missing.
Several mysteries are presented simultaneously, and with the alternating viewpoints between Courtney solving the mystery and Reese (starting a week in the past) you are gradually learning more players and your head is turned to several secrets.
I read a lot of mysteries, this one is a stand out. You will be turning pages late into the night.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for the ARC. Book to be published 2/3/26
