A pulse-pounding new Southern thriller from the author of the runaway bestseller A Flicker in the Dark.Twenty-two years ago, Claire Campbell’s older sister, Natalie, disappeared shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Days later, her blood was found in a car, a man was arrested, and the case was swiftly closed. In the decades since, Claire has attempted to forget her traumatic past by moving to the city and climbing the ranks as an investigative journalist... until an unexpected call from her father forces her to come back home and face it all anew.With the entire summer now looming ahead—a summer spent with nothing to do in her childhood home, with her estranged mother—Claire decides on a whim to accept a seasonal job at Galloway Farm, a muscadine vineyard in coastal South Carolina less than an hour away from where she grew up. At first glance, Galloway is an idyllic escape for Claire. A scenic retreat full of slow-paced nostalgia, as well as a place where her sister seemed truly happy in that last summer before she vanished, it feels like the perfect plan to pass the time. However, as soon as Claire starts to settle in, she stumbles across an old diary written by one of the vineyard's owners, and what at first seems like a story of young rebellion and love turns into something much more sinister as it begins to describe details of various unsolved crimes. As the days stretch on, Claire finds herself becoming more and more secluded as she starts to obsess over the diary's contents... as well as the lingering feeling that her own sister's disappearance may be somehow tied to it all.Galloway was supposed to be a place to help her move forward, but instead, Claire quickly finds herself immersed in her own dark and dangerous past.

"This is a great read!! It starts with Claire who is a journalist, heading back to her hometown. Her sister died when she was just a child. She just wants to feel like she's still around, so she heads to Galloway farms, where her sister worked towards the end of her life. What could be better? She is getting money in her pocket, free place to live, free food and just has to work on the farm. <br/>She finds a journal of Marcia and begins her obsession to find answers to all the questions she has. I love the mystery aspect and how she is determined to find out what really is going on. <br/>The beginning was a bit slow going but it picked up and I'm so glad I continued because then I was sucked in!! The amount of twists and whiplash I got from not knowing what was happening was insane!!! I love how everything ends up being pieced together and this web of characters is so big and they are all connected in some way!<br/>Thank you to Netgalley and publishers for letting me have an earc of this masterpiece!"
