Rate this book
She thought she buried the past… but some nightmares refuse to die.

When powerhouse CEO Stephanie Baker returns to her rural hometown to care for her dying father, the last thing she expects is for her darkest memories to resurface. Years ago, she fled in the middle of the night—blood on her hands and secrets in her heart. Now, something—or someone—is stalking her from the shadows.

Unmarked letters. Blurry photographs. A chilling You don’t remember everything, Stephanie... but I do.

As paranoia takes root, Stephanie starts questioning everything—her fiancé’s motives, her best friend’s loyalty, and even her own fractured memories. What really happened that night she ran? And what’s been hidden from her ever since?

With danger closing in and truths unraveling, Stephanie must confront the past she tried to forget… before it comes back to finish what it started.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Verity, The Dead Don’t Stay Gone is a tense, twist-filled psychological thriller where every lie has a consequence—and no one is safe.

Keeps you guessing until the end

Listen…. This was a page turner and I couldn’t put it down! You look at every character like the villain and don’t know who to trust. Great character, amazing story line, and plot twist that will have you gasping. Ms. Beeks knocked this right out the park!
