Fifteen years ago, Blair Butler's best friend Molly Sinclair was driven from Blair's house by her angry uncle and later found dead in the woods. Now Blair's terminally ill sister, Celeste, confesses that the man convicted of Molly's murder was innocent because he was with Celeste at the time. The authorities do not believe Celeste's alibi, and having made a promise to her sister, Blair now must prove a man's innocence while hunting a killer in a cold case that still haunts survivors. Featuring a convincing, well-developed heroine, a twisted villain, and a menacing atmosphere, MacDonald's (Don't Believe a Word) absorbing thriller ratchets up the drama and chilling tension.
VERDICT Fans of Ruth Ware and Tami Hoag won't be able to put down this intense novel of psychological suspense.
