Yikes!
Dear friends,
My sincerest apologies! I haven't looked at Goodreads with any regularity in many months. To those of you who wrote reviews for my books, forgive me and thank you!

"This book delivers exactly what a psychological thriller should: tension, mystery, and a strong central character. Carter Lane’s journey is both compelling and unsettling, and the story keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The twists feel natural"

“I imagined grief as a large black crow sitting on my shoulder like a captious shadow, watching everything I did, usually content to sit there quietly, but sometimes cawing judgment in my ear.”
