Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author, a pulse-pounding and twisting sequel to the chart-topping Pieces of Her, which now a smash-hit a Netflix limited series.


NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

'It's Slaughter's prodigious gifts of characterization that make her stand out among thriller writers.' Washington Post

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her, comes an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshal Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father's past.

A small town hides a big secret...

Who killed Emily Vaughn?

A girl with a secret...

Longbill Beach, 1982. Emily Vaughn gets ready for the prom. For an athlete, who is smart, pretty and well-liked, this night should be the highlight of her high school career. But Emily has a secret. And by the end of the evening, that secret will be silenced forever.

An unsolved murder...

Forty years later, Emily's murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that's about to change.

One final chance to uncover a killer...

US Marshal Andrea Oliver arrives in Longbill Beach on her first assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats. But, in reality, Andrea is there to find justice for Emily. The killer is still out there-and Andrea must discover the truth before she gets silenced, too...

Great 2nd installment

This book cleverly weaves a couple of strong plot lines into the one story, tying up loose ends with skill, if with no great surprises.

Action packed

I don’t recall a book captivating my attention the way this did. The story. The build up. The imagery cultivated by the words used… I devoured it. The book is written in two point of views Emily and Andrea. The story develops and moves so seamlessly from one POV to the other revealing just enough so you absolutely must know more! I kept finding myself wanting to wash dishes or get in the car to find out what happens next. What an amazing story told in an amazing way. ❤️🥰

Wow
