A Novel

By: Lynn Tavernier

Narrated by: Amy Hutchin

A disgraced detective tasked with investigating the suspicious death of a wealthy young woman must navigate a web of corruption to uncover the truth in this tense thriller for fans of Karen Dionne.

Detective Andrea Stuart was on a much-needed vacation, but when the body of a wealthy young woman from a prominent family is found at the base of a cliff, her plans are abruptly cut short. What appears to be a tragic accident quickly spirals into an investigation filled with unanswered questions and a series of disturbing clues that point to something far more sinister.

As Andrea digs deeper into the case, she discovers a world of privilege where appearances are everything and secrets are buried deep. The Philbrick family is determined to keep the truth hidden; the woman’s fiancée is a pillar of the community with holes in his story; and Andrea's superiors are pressuring her to close the case quickly and quietly. But Andrea is determined to get to the truth even though she knows that doing her duty could cost her everything.

Haunted by her past, Andrea must navigate the delicate balance between justice and self-preservation as she unravels the dark secrets of the Philbrick family–even if finding the truth might mean confronting the very demons she's been trying to escape
