#1 New York Times Bestseller · USA Today Bestseller · Globe and MailBestseller · Publishers Weekly Bestseller

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night her family was forever altered.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents could devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her.

The use of recordings and sound evidence made this feel different from the usual missing-person thriller. Every time Lena discovered something unusual in a tape, I wanted to keep reading to see what it meant. It’s suspenseful without relying on nonstop action, which I really appreciated.

I liked that Lena actually investigates instead of simply waiting for information to come to her. She pays attention to things other people overlook, especially in the recordings. That made the mystery feel more intelligent and gave the story a strong lead character.

I couldn’t decide what I thought about Iris for a long time, and that was one of my favorite parts of the book. Her connection to the recordings and the old investigation adds another layer to the mystery. By the end, I understood several earlier scenes very differently.
