Two women haunted by their sisters’ unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here and host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie.
“Sharp, slick, and chilling, with a whiplash ending you’ll never see coming.”—Jeneva Rose, author of Home Is Where the Bodies Are
Nicole “Nic” Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, she’s just gotten a DWI, and she works the same dead-end job she’s been working since high school, a job she only has because her boss is a family friend and feels sorry for her. Everyone has felt sorry for her for the last seven years—since the day her older sister, Kasey, vanished without a trace.
On the night Kasey went missing, her car was found over a hundred miles from home. The driver’s door was open and her purse was untouched in the seat next to it. The only real clue in her disappearance was Jules Connor, another young woman from the same area who disappeared in the same way, two weeks earlier. But with so little for the police to go on, both cases eventually went cold.
Nic wants nothing more than to move on from her sister’s disappearance and the state it’s left her in. But then one day, Jules’s sister, Jenna Connor, walks into Nic’s life and offers her something she hasn’t felt in a long time: hope. What follows is a gripping tale of two sisters who will do anything to find their missing halves, even if it means destroying everything they’ve ever known.

      Fans of Flowers's Crime Junkie podcast will experience the author's narrative style in full force in her latest mystery novel (after All Good People Here), this one written with Alex Kiester. Seven years after the disappearance of her sister Kasey, 24-year-old Nic is struggling with alcohol, a suspended license, and a dead-end job in Mishawaka, IN. Enter Jenna Connor, whose sister Jules also disappeared around the same time as Nic's. Told entirely from Nic's point of view, the story spirals into memories and explores the fragmentation of lives left behind with the recognition that everyone touched by potential murder lives with the inability to move forward. There's drama and fast-paced action alongside moments of humor, comfort, and casualness that bring the novel's small-town setting to life, both as it was before the girls vanished and as it is for Nic in the present. Psychologically nuanced, the book veers unexpectedly in its final chapters in ways that are as beautiful as they are unsettling. VERDICT Perfect for readers of Ashley Winstead and Nita Prose, this is a hard book to put down; expect to miss sleep looking for the Mishawaka girls.--Emily Bowles
