Blurb:

From New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage and You Shouldn’t Have Come Here, comes a chilling family thriller about the (sometimes literal) skeletons in the closet.

After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate.

Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end.

Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm’s length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction.

Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn’t been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before.

While going through their parent’s belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends. Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

Why I Want to Read This Book:

I really enjoyed You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by this author when I read it last year. This is set in a small town in Wisconsin and I, who live in a small town in Wisconsin, love reading creepy books set in my home state. I’m excited to see the twists in this book!

Will you be checking this one out? What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?
