Emily Bleeker recommends
Follow Her Down (2024)
Victoria Helen Stone
"Follow Her Down pulled me into a tangled web I didn't want to get out of! Like any good true crime devotee, I couldn't help but binge this story and heed Stone's bidding to 'follow her down' a path of distrust, denial, and intrigue all stemming from a decades-old mystery that's suddenly found new life. Fellow fans of true crime will be spellbound by Stone's tense, empathetic writing and fascinated by the window she provides into the long-lasting effects on a family that's found themselves at the center of one of these tragic but enthralling stories."
The Stars Don't Lie (2023)
Boo Walker
"Bring tissues because there will be tears, but the good kind - the kind that let you know you are alive."
The Hint of Light (2023)
Kristin Kisska
"The Hint of Light deftly explores the unexpected twists and turns of navigating grief and regret while searching for hope after a tragic loss. Through provocative pacing and carefully layered characters, Kristin Kisska's emotionally charged debut reminds readers certain life-changing events can split anyone's personal timeline into a heart wrenching 'before' and 'after.' If you're looking for a moving and insightful read with plenty of unanswered questions to keep the pages turning - this is the book for you!"
