IT CAN ALL CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

Steppy Corner, voice of hit true crime podcast series All the Dark Corners, wakes in hospital with no memory of what brought her to Heartsick - the small Colorado town where her estranged family live - no memory of why she was racing up the mountainside to her parents' house late at night . . . or why she didn't make that bend.

All she knows is her mother has been brutally murdered and her brother is the prime suspect.

As Steppy begins to piece together events in the run-up to the accident, she discovers her brother's connection to another ongoing case, that of a missing girl last seen with him on Halloween.

Steppy knows better than anyone that the truth often hides in the darkest of corners, but as she races to untangle the web of secrets and lies, will it ultimately prove too close to home?

A twisting, claustrophobic and masterfully plotted thriller, with a breath-taking conclusion. Perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell.

Found this book very easy to read and finished it in 2 days! I liked how the story flipped between then and now and seeing the same thing from 2 different perspectives. Was surprised at how things unfolded and hadn’t seen the final twist coming! Overall an enjoyable read.......more

Goodreads review by Alix on April 18, 2025

Thought I’d struggle with the back and forth timeline but actually easy to keep up with. The short chapters were filled with suspense so found myself getting through it quick. Some predictability, but that’s difficult to avoid in a thriller and the ending still had a twist for me.......more
