Publisher Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Fully realized, wholly absorbing and almost painfully suspenseful...The journey is mesmerizing.” —New York Times

A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf.

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls—haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.

Don’t miss Heather’s upcoming twisty locked-room thriller, EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

Great winter thriller!!

4.5 Stars!!!! The style of story telling is compelling and when it all comes together, it’s a beautiful story with a satisfying ending. It was a bit confusing at parts trying to piece some small details together, but overall very well done. This is a great read for the wintertime if your a thriller lover!

This book is not my normal cup of tea, but midway thru, I could not put it down.
Not sure if I am brave enough to read another, but she is a great storyteller.
