Publisher's summary

For a disgraced reporter, unraveling a conspiracy of murder could mean redemption in a powerful novel of suspense by the bestselling author of Out of the Ashes.

Reporter Lee Ellerin’s investigation into a young woman’s unsolved murder gained national attention—only for her to lose everything due to a tragic mistake. After being publicly ridiculed for causing a suspect’s death, Lee is forced to leave her career behind.

Five years later, pregnant college student Amanda Hartley lies in a coma. The police say she attempted suicide, but the details don’t add up. Where is the father? Who was paying for Amanda’s Manhattan penthouse? Why did Amanda have a note with Lee’s name in her backpack? There’s also one alarming coincidence: Amanda was last seen on Dune Road in the Hamptons—where the murder victim in Lee’s previous investigation disappeared.

As she’s pulled back into the still-unsolved case that destroyed her career, Lee sees the chance to amend the mistakes of her past. But finding a killer and unearthing Amanda’s secrets sends her down a darker path than she has ever walked before.

Critic reviews

“Thomas keeps her foot on the gas while shifting gears between a cast of plausible suspects, a handful of well-earned plot twists, and a serviceable romantic subplot for Natalee. This has all the ingredients to satisfy mystery fans.”Publishers Weekly

“Clear your calendar because once you start reading this, you won’t be able to stop!”—Ashley Elston, New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins

Lost to Dune Road is a triumph. A twisty and emotional story about second chances and the pursuit of truth. Kara Thomas takes us on a journey into the darkest corners of the world of privilege, then skillfully guides us toward the light. If you haven’t read Kara Thomas yet, what are you waiting for?”—Alex Finlay, author of If Something Happens to Me

Binge worthy!!

Normally mysteries aren't much of a mystery to me - but this one had me on a ride and I was in the dark until the very end - which I loved!!! Great characters and no slow parts! She had me at "Pete Marino"

Another Kara Thomas winner

I gave loved every Kara Thomas novel and LOST TO DUNE ROAD is no exception.

Natalee, after a career embarrassment now calls herself Lee. Once an investigative reporter, before the public incident, she receives a phone call from Carol, a mother whose pregnant daughter Amanda lies in a hospital comatose after a serious suicide attempt. Lee can’t avoid taking the case after she suspects a connection to the incident on Dune Road.

I listened to the audiobook straight through because I just could not stop. Lee was such a compelling character, sympathetic, gritty, sometimes pushing boundaries to get what she needs. I’d love to see her character in more books.

nope

This was really awful. I found the plot stupid, the writing juvenile, and the character development shoddy. This author is a hard pass from now on.
