NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two women haunted by their sisters’ unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the 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.

Even better than her first book!

I preordered this book last week and almost forgot … almost. Then, when Ashley and Brit popped up in my podcast feed this morning with a reminder, I was instantly hooked. I rushed over the Audible to open the book, and I’m so glad I didn’t wait. This book had me from beginning to end, and it is excellently done. Congrats on the awesome book, Ashely!

Wow the ending is so good!

I love when I’m duped or absolutely don’t see a twist or anticipated ending from a mystery/suspense. I only had time to gasp with my guess a moment before the epic twist was revealed. There are many clues but there are also multiple possibilities for what happened. I loved it. Really enjoyed listening to this one!

The narrator is so gifted. Saskia provides each character with their own unique voice and the emotional range that was prevalent to the story!!

The plot twist!

The story kept me captivated and on my toes the whole read. The plot twist was completely unexpected! I would definitely recommend this book!

So good!!

Loved this!! Kept you guessing all the way through!! Well written and enjoyed the readers on Audible!

The twist and turns….. wowza so fun to listen to

So much wonderful content, loved every twist and turn I was convinced of one person and then bam… NOPE! Can’t wait to see what Ashley puts together next!

So many plot twists!

I am a weekly Crime Junkie listener & I heard about Ashley’s book thru the pod. This is my first Audiobook & I absolutely loved it! There were so many plot twists that had my mouth wide open at my desk at work 🤣 Overall this was definitely worth the read/listen

Great performance great story

Well written. Good character development. Twist in story especially the ending. Highly Recommend this novel.

Couldn’t stop listening

Absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s completely different from Ashley Flowers first book, and just as good. I can’t wait for her next one.

Twisty twisty

Good twists and turns. Had me guessing for sure most of the way. Good read all the way through.

Endings

Have listened to two of her books now. The endings leave you wondering if there’s another book that will let you know how it turns out. But no, that’s how they end.
