Beneath Her Reflection
Every reflection hides a truth—and some refuse to stay buried.
They say the tide never forgets. In Savannah, neither do the dead.
Ten years after her twin sister Vera’s fatal fall at Shellmarsh Landing Pier, Irene Sullivan has built a careful life of quiet routines and unspoken guilt. But lately the house feels different—mirrors shimmer, rooms rearrange themselves, and lipstick she doesn’t own, stains her coffee cup. Each day brings new notes written in her own I know what you did.
Detective Rowan Locke is investigating a string of murders linked to the name V. Sullivan, and the trail leads straight back to Irene. As the investigation closes in, the veil between the living and the dead begins to thin.
Because Vera never truly left that pier.
And death was only the beginning.

Beneath Her Reflection is a haunting psychological thriller that blends grief, guilt, and the supernatural with striking precision. L.C. McConnell crafts an atmosphere that feels constantly unsettled,quietly eerie rather than overtly frightening,and it works beautifully.
The story centers on Irene Sullivan, whose carefully controlled life begins to fracture ten years after her twin sister’s death. What makes this novel stand out is how convincingly the author portrays guilt as a living presence. The strange occurrences shifting rooms, unfamiliar lipstick, messages written in Irene’s own hand,feel intimate and invasive, blurring the line between psychological unraveling and paranormal threat. You’re never quite sure whether Irene is being haunted, losing control, or both.
Detective Rowan Locke adds a grounded counterbalance to the story, and the murder investigation tied to V. Sullivan deepens the tension without pulling focus from Irene’s emotional journey. The Savannah setting is especially effective. the imagery of tides, piers, and lingering secrets reinforces the novel’s themes of memory and inevitability.
McConnell’s prose is sharp and evocative, and the pacing steadily tightens toward a chilling conclusion. Beneath Her Reflection is a compelling read for fans of atmospheric thrillers who enjoy unreliable narrators, psychological depth, and a touch of the uncanny.
