A young mother has done everything possible to put the past behind her, but it might not be enough in a gripping novel of suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of the Jane Doe novels. Abandoned by her fugitive ex-husband, Lily Brown is rebuilding her life on the edge of a Kansas town that still feels the sting of his crimes. Lily lies low, managing the isolated storage facility where she lives with her twelve-year-old son, Everett, and planning a better future for them both. That requires keeping secrets. Everett has them too. After breaking into a storage unit, Everett finds photographs and news clippings of five girls missing for decades. For Everett, it's an adventure and a tempting mystery to solve. But digging further into a stranger's obsession is putting Everett and his mother in the crosshairs of a killer. Then Lily's ex resurfaces from the shadows. Just as suddenly, an attentive new man enters Lily's life. And a suspicious detective, responding to reports of a prowler, watches every move Lily makes. It's getting harder for Lily to know who to trust--or whose secrets pose the most frightening threat of all.

"Absolutely loved Jane Doe! One of my favorite books of all time. This one was a bit all over the place for me. Lots of unnecessary political views that did not contribute to the story at all. I am not a fan of people who use their platform to vent political frustrations. I like to escape the constant bickering going on in our world when I read. Also there were some things presented in the book that could've been very intriguing if expounded upon but they were never brought up again. The ending was pretty predictable. It did keep my attention until the last little bit when I was just ready for it be over. I do enjoy Ms. Stones writing but this one was just meh for me."
"This book was okay. Not my favorite. I wish it was longer so the ending could be better but urgh it felt like all the real suspenseful incidents were pushed together in the last 2 chapters, like they wanted to end the book because they were tired. 😅 out of the 20 books I’ve read in the last 3 months, I will NOT be recommending.
