The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Publisher's summary
One of Publishers Weekly’s Best Mystery/Thriller Books of 2020
"From its gripping beginning to its sobering finale, Amy Engel's The Familiar Dark never fails to enthrall with surprising twists." (Associated Press)
A spellbinding story of a mother with nothing left to lose who sets out on an all-consuming quest for justice after her daughter is murdered on the town playground.
Sometimes the answers are worse than the questions. Sometimes it's better not to know.
Set in the poorest part of the Missouri Ozarks, in a small town with big secrets, The Familiar Dark opens with a murder. Eve Taggert, desperate with grief over losing her daughter, takes it upon herself to find out the truth about what happened. Eve is no stranger to the dark side of life, having been raised by a hard-edged mother whose lessons Eve tried not to pass on to her own daughter. But Eve may need her mother's cruel brand of strength if she's going to face the reality about her daughter's death and about her own true nature. Her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her mother's trailer for a final lesson.
The Familiar Dark is a story about the bonds of family - women doing the best they can for their daughters in dire circumstances - as well as a story about how even the darkest and most terrifying of places can provide the comfort of home.
Critic reviews
"The Familiar Dark is a blistering rural noir brimming with dark secrets and the harsh realities of survival in a hardscrabble town. As Eve Taggert seeks vengeance for her daughter’s murder and descends into the depths of her own jagged past, we are reminded that a mother’s love is a fearsome thing. A powerful, gripping, heart-stopping read." (Laura McHugh, award-winning author of The Wolf Wants In)

Story
My name is Salvador Rosas. Back in the barrio, my past is written on the walls: ESHB. Short for East Side Hollenbeck, my father's gang - my gang. Hell, it's a family tradition, one that sent both my brothers away. They used to call me "Ghost" because I haunted people's dreams. Now I've got nothing going for me except a hipster gringo mentoring me in a new career. An ex-con making craft beer? No mames. Still, people in this neighborhood look out for one another.

Gritty and dark but deep
Something about this story gets under your skin. The character that is so unlovable you love her. The constant swells of emotions and never knowing where it was going was amazing.

Wonderful writing , wonderful narration !
I've been burned by some of my choices recently so I've had my faith restored . Amy Engel is a writer a strong writer and it was a pleasure to read a good book. The narration is excellent it really adds to the character development. If you like smart books that give you something to think about and entertain you this book will do that .It is dark and twisty too, and sad . Worth the credit. Get it now

Whiny and boring
The main character was very whiny. The storyline is good and interesting, but towards the end, it’s very predictable. It would be so much better if there were more detail about the bad things that happened to them when they were children or as they were growing up. The info was included, but the detail needed more. It wasn’t dark enough.

MY MAMMA should have been the title
I lost track of how many times "my mamma" was said. It became comical. I couldn't focus on the narrative because the constant use of "my mamma" kept interrupting the storyline.

Loved it! Read like an Ozark subplot!
The narration was OUTSTANDING! She turned this author's voice into mental cinematography!
Very strong female characters! It reminded me so much of the characters in the Netflix show, Ozark. Totally recommend!!
